@pacer3702 Hi, Jennifer here. Have you tried working with a physical therapist? I do and it is common for my PT to adjust my pelvis because it goes out of alignment.. It is not as bad as it used to be, and I also do a lot of myofascial release which helps get things moving and realigned properly. It's great that you have an appointment at Mayo, but don't worry, the PA should be good and they can always consult with a physician if needed. My spine surgeon's nurse is now a PA there and she was just wonderful. Surgery isn't always the best answer. Usually, more conservative methods are tried first like physical therapy. At one time I was wearing an SI belt to keep that stabilized. I find that horseback riding helps me a lot by strengthening my legs, pelvis, hips and back and by building core strength. It is just trail riding at a walk, and I have learned some ways to adjust my pelvis myself it is goes out. I need to stretch the hip flexors in front to help too. Did you see the links in the post that you responded to about Lumbar Plexus Syndrome? https://mskneurology.com/identify-treat-lumbar-plexus-compression-syndrome-lpcs/

Hi Jennifer (not Janet),
Thank you for this additional information. I had read the article on Lumbar Plexus Compression Syndrome that you provided and it is fantastic! Thank you for sharing. A couple more questions: The article seems to discourage myofascial release for these health conditions (states that MFR has only temporary benefits), but you have found MFR to be of benefit. I would appreciate your insight. Also, horseback riding would be a fun way to recover, but I'm concerned about the bouncing action on my SI joints. If you just keep the horse at a walk, is the motion relatively minor? (It's a long time since I have been on a horse!) I have had one PT session that specifically addressed realigning the pelvis, which helped me a lot. Unfortunately, there is a 3 week wait until the next appointment. I'm wearing an SI joint belt daily, which also helps. Finally, I'm finding walking really helps.
Congratulations on the beautiful painting of your surgeon! You are so talented!
