Si Joint Dysfunction? Piriformis Syndrome? Posted: 12-13-07 02:48am
Hi, my name is Bryan I'am a 21 year old
male.
I was lifting heavy weights for about a
year with no problems...had a sore back
here and there.
It's hard to remember when it started, I
believe it started when I slipped while
playing frisbee. I land right on my wallet
which was in my right back pocket.
The pain is very random. Sometimes it will
be a dull ache right where the SI joint
is. Or a sharp pain just behind my femur.
Some days I have to limp cause of the pain
others I don't notice it but gets easily
aggravated. It hurts to twist my upper
body to the left but not the right. It
hurts my hip to sneeze. And it hurts the
most to lay on my back and relax all my
muscles. It use to hurt the most getting
in and out of my car but it doesn't bother
me at all anymore too do that.
I saw a chiropractor for 2 months and was
told that I have piriformis syndrome, and
was given a list of stretches to do and to
come back next week.
It was the same thing over and over again
and I think the stretching just made
things worse.
So I saw my family doctor I told him what
the chiropractor thought and he agreed
without even examining me. He referred me
to a physiotherapist. And tried too sell
me some sleeping pills for some reason.
The physiotherapist thinks i have
"Sacroiliac joint dysfunction"
He told me to strength my core, ice it and
take anti-inflammatory pills.
Month of doing that and I haven't seen any
improvement or been given a clear
diagnosis.
Sorry for the long whining post. It kinda
sounds like a riddle.
But that's how I feel and I think I have
been pushed in the wrong direction.
Can someone please help me?

Didn't the doctors consider a "slipped
disc", dislocation of the intervertebral
disc? Go see an orthopedic surgeon, or at
least have an xray done. Bone fractures,
hip disclocations are also common
conditions that happen after a fall. Pain
is the usual outcome if left untreated.
