Q: Sacroiliac misalignment

Further to my post last week titled "Sacroiliac misalignment" the pain has now moved down from my right iliac crest to my hip - after 9 weeks! So it is just getting worse further down. Phoned my doc who said he will not help me any further as I am not taking my pain and anti-inflam meds and this has probably caused the injury/problem to continue further. He said he will only refer me to an orthopedic surgeon - great - all they want to do these days is palm you off on a specialist , cut you open, charge a fortune and most likely you will still sit with the problem. I have read so many topics now on this forum with unresolved pain in backs, hips etc after years of misdiagnosis, thousands spent with no relief that I refuse to go that route and have my GP send me off to a specialist who also has no answers. Excuse the venting but in this day and age how difficult can it be to find a problem when the pain is in such a specific area?

Self Therapy

It takes usually six to eight weeks until our body adjust to changes. That goes in both ways: Towards chronic misalignment and pain or towards better alignment and less or no pain. In any case it is necessary to do a daily self therapy towards best possible alignment in order to allow the body that adjustment. I recommend to have a look at the Dorn Method Self Therapy Exercises.

Thanks Thomas, I have previously checked out Dorns methods. Have since discovered I have a nerve trapped/being squeezed, aggravated by certain movements/motions. The anti-seizure medication is working wonders on this problem - you are right, it has taken 6 weeks of the medication to make a difference. Have been advised by the specialist to allow sacroiliac inflammation to decrease before attempting exercise schedule as this was aggravating it and actually making nerve entrapment worse. Feeling much better now either way.
