Is there any hope is SI joint pain will improve?

Posted by audrey5449 @audrey5449, Dec 3, 2023

I am despondent that the SI joint pain is not going to improve. I have been doing physical therapy and had shots last week. My pain is still severe. Is there options other than shots that will help with the pain? I have not been able to lie in a bed for over two years because to stretch out on my back makes the pain unbearable. Not allowed inside because of kidney disease. I'm not sure if I should limit my activities or if I should push through the pain. Can someone please tell me what to expect and/or what I need to do to help myself.

In reply to @thisoldewe "Has anyone tried the 'sacroloc' belt to support the pelvis and S.I. joints?" + (show)

I have been wearing the Serola SI joint belt at home for about 6 months. I had minor SI joint pain in June. The likely cause was hypermobility in the SI joint due to stress fractures in my lower vertebrae after a fall. I'm wearing the SI belt to stabilize the area and allow the stress fractures to heal. It seems to be working.
