Is anyone dealing with S I Joint Pain?

Posted by michelle103064 @michelle103064, Sep 12 5:37pm

I had one steroid injection that obvious he hit a nerve. That was 2 months ago. I was much worse after. I have flare ups after every PT session. And I’ve been off work for 7 weeks. My new physiatrist suggests another injection … I’m apprehensive.
But, now have a major flare up from trying to go to work. I only went for 3 days, 4 hrs each day. So I am considering the injection. I don’t know what else to do.
Open to any suggestions. Has anyone tried chiropractor ?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Spine Health Support Group.

I had 3 procedures completed. First two were spot on, the third was like
you hit a nerve and I never went back. Mind you this is my story on me,
next i went to a chiropractor.
He knew what he was doing and 5 treatments and some pt along with a
decompression table had me 50 % better. then i moved to mostly a small
adjustment if needed then the table, what he found was I had an old
ruptured disc they initially missed and he used kid gloves and worked with
me to get me out of pain even more. Hope you find someone that can help you
the way I was helped.

Thank you for sharing! I’m glad you got help. I did not go back to my dr either.
I’m hoping this chiropractor can get me in tomorrow. I’m miserable.

@michelle103064 --I have over a lifetime of injuries been lucky enough to at the time have friends or family suggest this one or that one and what they were being treated for. This taught me tow things over time. First is a lot of doctors don't recognize them. I just know a good one can help with certain pain issues. The tide has been slowly turning in their favor and a lot of doctors now recommend one that specializes in certain fields. I wish you all the luck in the world and good health. Have a blessed day.

Thank you for the helpful comment. one other thing I found with a good
massage therapist or chiropractor, Is they won't work on you without an
ex-ray first to see what they need to do to help or refer you to someone
else. Have a blessed day. And wishing you good health.

@randallshields56 I am seeing a chiropractor today. Praying for some relief. I did have a therapeutic massage and that was very helpful. But right now I’m in a major flare up with nerve pain, inflammation, an what my pcp thinks is muscular bumps above kneecaps.

Michelle, best luck. The chiropractors I see also adjust the knees. You might ask about that, too. Most chiropractors today read MRIs; you might take any imaging you have. None of mine required x ray first.

I so hope your chiropractor helps you.

Thank you for the like and the second thing is Ask Questions about any
concerns you might have of your chiropractor.
