Its getting more painful for me too but I am more or less able to manage by being more careful when I move now. Whenever I’ve to move my legs off a chair, car, bed etc, I’ll clam it together n move as one. Then I use my glutes muscle (not sure how else to describe it) to push up/off.
Prior to this, I’ll separate the legs a bit and push out/off using one leg. Both separating the legs and pushing with one leg hurt a lot for me.
Also! I’ve been walking using smaller but fast steps.
I’ve been doing pilates with an instructor to strengthen my body but not necessarily pelvic muscles only. My instructor emphasises mostly on diagrammatic breathing and using the pelvic floor muscles + abdominal muscles to do this breathing, which will strengthen the respective muscles (and make it easier to labour).
