To anyone who has been told their pain is SI joint related….what kind of symptoms have you had?

My problem is a muscle, not a bone. Do Chiropractors work on muscles?

Yes, but I think I would see a physical therapist about that.

I was going to a physical therapist and during the exercises, I got a muscle spasm on the other side! I went right back to them and they rubbed the area and put the Tenz on it but it didn't go away. That one lasted about a month. I've had x-rays, CT scans, and MRI. All of them see nothing wrong with my back. I hope I am not boring everyone with this subject, but I am desperate for a cure. One doctor said it might be a nerve irritating that muscle, could I have that nerve cut out?!?

Is there a muscle/spine specialist at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota?

REPLY

There is every kind of specialist at Mayo, Rochester. Just look at their website.

Can I ask what your symptoms were? Also, where was this sports medicine doc?

I am very glad you are doing better. I know it is miserable.

My symptoms were one leg being longer than the other. One hip being higher than the other. Pain and muscle weakness in lower back, glutes, hips and legs. Weakness of my legs to where I thought I would require a wheelchair. After many SI Joint manual adjustments and tons of specific exercises under the direction of a knowledgeable physical therapist therapist I no longer have Right on Right Sacral Torsion. My legs are strong! No more SI joint pain! The doctor is located in Salem, VA.

I am very glad you found relief! I wish I was closer to Salem, VA and could see your doctor.

I am considering trying to go to Mayo.
