I have same type of pain. I took journavaux. It didn't help. Going to see a spine specialist. Dr. thinks it could be a pinched nerve. Best of luck to you
I have a mild case of SI joint irritation. Quite stiff with I get out of bed but loosens in a half hour of movement. I am doing some light recommended stretches/exercises.
Is this something that will get better or go away in time?

I had severe SI joint pain where I was unable to do house chores like vacuuming, loading dish washer, etc. for two years and ended up having SI joint fusion…and what a relief! Is that an option for you yet? Talk to an orthopedic. Wish you the best.

@magnus34 I’d go for a second opinion. I had to…went to spine specialist and he did few different injections then told me go pain management or orthopedic. I went back to my orthopedic doctor and he did a few manipulation tests which I tested positive and then sent me for injections which took pain away and I was able to get surgery due to I did PT etc and nothing helped. I no longer have pain in that area. Best thing I did was get that second opinion. 😊
Start with an orthopedic surgeon who diagnoses pain in your SI joint. Get referred to pain management. Try various resolutions like exercise, steroid injections, and ablation. See what works and see what doesn’t work. ALSO – really important. Try a really great MFR therapist! After 30 years of SI joint dysfunction, for me it is the muscles pulling tight over the SI joint. YES I have tight joints and I have butt loads of arthritis in the joint. But that isn’t what causes the pain most days. Did you happen to have a job where you sat a lot? This can cause SI joint dysfunction and it’s the muscles pulling tight over your SI joint. The MFR therapist does acupressure over the muscles that lie over the joint and brings me tons of relief. I have to continue on my own doing stretches, not sitting so much and returned to the MFR therapist on a regular basis. When you get older, your muscle fascia glues together, the tugging as a group causes pain and the muscles have to be massaged and separated. Then they glide nicely over the joint.
In addition, the barometric weather changes will aggravate the arthritis in the joint. So when it gets cold and damp and foggy outside my Si joints, get stiff and painful causing inflammation. Stretching and a heating pad relieves the pain.

Does MFR hurt? I feel like pain in both sacroiliac, but also the pelvic floor muscles so I’m not sure which one came first. I think the floor muscles are weak because I had an injury at the beginning of the year and I keeps reigniting every time I try to strengthen and my SI joint to suffering area so clearly I assume that MFR would be good for the whole area or to find a therapist. who does it here where I am at least.

Looking for advice on mattresses.

Discussed felt Dr turned down due to arthritis
@moreese
S-I pain generally abates within a few weeks or months; if not, it’s probably something else. Have you had an MRI?
@spillihped yes, several
