5 Signs Your Hip Pain Is Gluteal Tendinopathy and how to reverse it.

Menopause specialist

Last Updated Oct 25.2025

Sign #1: You Can't Sleep on Your Side

You shift at 3am. Flip to the other side. Repeat all night. You've tried different pillows, cushions between your legs—nothing works.

 

Your tendons are already inflamed from estrogen decline. When you lie on them for hours, the pressure becomes unbearable.

Sign #2: The first steps after sitting feel impossible

Getting out of bed feels like you're 90 years old. Standing up from the couch takes genuine effort. 

 

Those first 5 steps are brutal—then it gets slightly better.

 

Some days it's manageable. Other days you can barely raise your knee. You can't predict which kind of day it'll be.

Sign #3: Your doctor tested you and found "nothing wrong

X-rays look normal. Blood work shows mild inflammation. Your doctor says "try these pills" or "it's just your age."

 

Eighteen months later, you're still hurting.

 

Gluteal tendinopathy doesn't show on standard arthritis tests. You'd need an MRI of your hip tendons specifically—which most doctors never order.

Sign #4: Everything helps for 2-3 days, then stops working

Ibuprofen works for a few days. Physio gives temporary relief. Then you're back to square one.

 

Why? You're reducing inflammation but not fixing the hormone loss that's breaking down your tendons.

 

Here's what research-savvy women are discovering: A gut bacteria strain called 

L. gasseri helps your body produce more estrogen naturally. Not synthetic hormones—your own estrogen, optimized through gut health.

 

The gut-hormone connection is one of the most studied areas in menopause research right now.

Sign #5:  It started around menopause

Hot flashes, brain fog, irregular periods—and suddenly your hip is killing you.

 

When estrogen drops by up to 90% during menopause, your tendon collagen breaks down faster than your body can repair it. 

 

Younger women rarely get GT because their estrogen is still protecting their tendons.

 

If your hip pain timeline matches your menopause timeline, that's the smoking gun.

4/5 women with Gluteal Tendinopathy are misdiagnosed with arthritis or bursitis 

Many women are misdiagnosed by doctors fighting a losing battle and rarely treat the root cause. Your tendons need estrogen to heal. Nothing else will fix this.

 

So what is Gluteal tendinopathy exactly?

It's when the tendons on the side of your hip—where your butt muscles attach to the bone—get damaged and inflamed. 

 

They start to fray and weaken instead of staying strong.

 

That's why it hurts on the outside of your hip. 

Why you can't sleep on your side. Why the pain shoots down your thigh. And why stretching makes it worse instead of better.

 

Your tendons need estrogen to repair themselves. Without it, they literally can't heal. That's why it suddenly showed up during menopause—and why physio hasn't fixed it.

 

Harvard University discovered a probiotic in L. gasseri that boosts estrogen up to 35%. It works by producing enzymes in your gut that convert inactive estrogen into active estrogen.

 

Most probiotic formulas don't contain L. gasseri. And if they do, they're not dosed right or don't survive stomach acid.

A message from Nora the founder:

Look, I know what you're thinking. 

 

 Here's the truth: your body still makes estrogen every day. Special gut bacteria are supposed to recycle up to 35% of it before it leaves your body. 

 

After 40, those bacteria die off. So you're flushing away estrogen your tendons desperately need. Our probiotic, L. gasseri replaces those bacteria. 

 

And why hasn't your doctor mentioned this? 

 

Because pharmaceutical companies can't patent a bacteria strain. No profit means no drug reps, which means your doctor genuinely doesn't know it exists. The research is there in medical journals. They just haven't read it. 

 

But here's what matters: Try Her Again for 60 days. If your hip pain doesn't ease, if you're still waking up at night—full refund, no questions asked. You risk nothing. But every day without it, you're wasting estrogen your body needs.

Frequently asked questions

"How long before I see results?"

Most women notice improvement between weeks 3-8. Morning stiffness typically improves first. Full results usually show by week 12. Your body needs time to rebuild the gut bacteria population and restart the estrogen recycling system.

Can I take this with my other medications?

Her Again is a probiotic, not a hormone. Most women take it alongside their regular medications without issues. However, if you're on blood thinners, thyroid medication, or any estrogen-blocking drugs, check with your doctor first.

"How is this different from Provitalize or other probiotics?"

Provitalize and most probiotics use strains for digestion and bloating. Her Again uses L. gasseri SBT2055—the specific bacteria that produces the enzyme to recycle estrogen. Different bacteria, different job, different result.

"Am I too old for this to work?"

No. If your body still makes estrogen (which it does even 20+ years post-menopause), you can benefit from recycling it. We have customers in their 70s and 80s reporting results.

"I'm a breast cancer survivor. Is this safe?"

Her Again doesn't add estrogen—it helps your body recycle what you're already making, so there's no increase in total estrogen load. However, if you're on Letrozole or aromatase inhibitors (drugs that block estrogen), please consult your oncologist first.

What if it doesn't work for me?

60-day money-back guarantee. If you don't feel relief, you get every penny back. No questions, no hassles.

Where is Her Again made?

Her Again is proudly made in the UK under strict manufacturing standards, with every formula and capsule independently third-party lab tested for purity, safety, and potency. Our production meets all regulatory requirements, so you can feel confident knowing you’re getting a supplement that’s not only effective, but also trusted, safe, and reliable for long-term use.

 

Is it safe for long-term use?

It’s safe for daily use and designed to support tendon strength and mobility long-term. Most women keep using Her Again to keep their joints in top shape.

"Will this work if I'm already on HRT?"

Yes. HRT adds estrogen to your bloodstream. Her Again helps your body recycle the estrogen you're already making (including what HRT provides). Many women take both. They work through different mechanisms.

"Is this a subscription? Can I cancel?"

You can choose one-time purchase or subscription (save 20%). Subscription has zero cancellation fees. Pause or cancel anytime online or by phone. No hassle.
