Hello Katrina
I am 22 as well and have quite a high pain threshold. But this SI pain is something else isn't it? I
suggest you try Bowen treatment. It relieves my pain so much. I have only had 2 treatments so far but it is good. You do have to pay but I think it is worth it.
Hi
Where do you go for the Bowen treatment?
Thanks
Sabrina
Hello
You just have to go to your nearest one. Google on it. Or the next nearest.
There are plenty of Bowen therapists.
Thanks.
Hi Winnie i have not been to gp but cant stand the pain i will go tomorrow if i can my lower back is in agony and groin pain to i also have fibromyalgia,im on ammitryptoline solpadol high strenth and propranolol.
hello Winnie
I know this is a terrible thing to live withI have been living with this condition for the best part of 30 years and have only just gone to my GP and had it diagnosed, because I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia which if you don't know sort of increases my pain awarenes tenfold the condition increses a persons sensitivity to pain yeh I know great eh!! I was diagnosed as having SPD I have one leg longer than the other most of my pain is on the left side I can't sit for more than 10-12 mins and if I stand still upright for more than the same amount of time my legs go numb I suffer constant pain in my buttocks and a strange one if i sit on a firm chair I get numbness in my groin and pelvic area I dont know if anyone else has this symptom, I am seeing a NHS Physio at the moment to try and strengthen all supporting and core muscles at 55 thats not an easy feat but i'm giving it a go she has offered hydrotherapy also, I have had acupucture before which was very succsessful, I do use a tens machine and hot and cold pads that I wouldn't live without, it is possible to buy a sacroiliac support belt but be careful not to become to reliant on it, rehabilitation exersise is the way to go I know its not easy when you are having a flare up (sacroilitis) but exersise can continue when the flareup subsides I am registered disabled as I have several other major conditions if I can have a go at I hope others might seek help to do the same "hound" your GP's untill you get a referral do not take no for an answer it is your right to be referred hope this helps a little I really hope you feel a little better and remember you are not alone there are many people suffering as you are.best of luck
Hi,
I have terrible SI joint pain. I walk 3-5 miles a day and that has helped a lot. Not on roads (too hard) but across/round fields. Im careful to watch my step in case I jar my pelvis. I borrow my friends dogs. After years of agony and a recent slipped disc this works best and have actually had 3 days in the last 3 weeks of 'no pain'.
I also use the, 'Map My Walk" app on my phone. It gives you something to aim for each day and when the website is viewed on a big screen (desktop or tablet) when you get home, you can see how far, altitude and time graphs. I do not want to miss a day cause the missing data in the graphs looks bad. Its a great incentive.
Good Luck...x
Hello- I live in the US and have had difficulty with finding a way to manage and deal with my SI dysfunction.
Have you had an accident? When did this start giving you issues? Do you find it is progressing?
I had a traumatic injury- for a few months I was okay and no problems except for minimal discomfort. Now I am affected every minute of every day/night.
Doctors gave me medication- are you taking anything?
Have you tried steroid injections? They have helped me but the pain is progressing and now the discomfort in my groin is so intense I am doubled over at times.
I have tried:
Dry Needling, Chriopratic care, Massage, Steriod injections, Cupping, Physical Therapy, Stretching-Yoga (hot), Ice, Heat, and recently have given in to taking daily medication.
The medication makes it difficult to work or function.
I feel your pain !! I have had alif/plif tri-level.fusion.c5/c6fusion , removed hardware ten months later have had over 50 steroid injection. Induce yrs ,SI joint Dysfunction sever hypomobility.both knees need replaced , radiculitophy nerve pain everywhere, in pain 24/7 I just wanted to let you know that I feel and understand your pain
I would never consider SI bone fusion
Have friends that had it done left them worse Until a miracle happens I believe we are stuck and have to learn different methods of dealing
I have tried all that you have Nothing g last as soon. As I try to walk same pain but I keep walking although I also use a scooter to go shopping or site seeing, walking my dog etc I know it's hard will Pray.for you God Bless Merry Christmas
I’ve been dealing with SI joint pain recently which also starts with heart palpitations when the pain flares up. Are you doing any better after all these years and what has helped you get better if so???
