Hi there! I'm hoping to find some friends and support on this forum. I suffer from pelvic instability, which has been extremely debilitating and painful for me.

You rock, Orchid! I've been using a PT and tried many other modalities, but not prolotherapy (sp?) yet. Incidentally, my PT and I were just talking about this today. This whole thing began as a yoga injury as well (standing separate leg stretching pose in Bikram (Hot) Yoga like 12 years ago. It has progressively worsened with age, scoliosis, and two posterior-presenting babies delivered vaginally. Finally, jumping on the bike too soon post-delivery and taking some huge hills put me over the edge. I've been in life-altering pain for over two years now. Thanks for starting this group. I was at quite a low Saturday when I joined and finding the group and joining was just the amount of energy I had left to do something good for myself. Bless people like you who take the time to give back after healing themselves! Love, CourtneyC
I’m With You
thank you but i think its good to know what i'm up against at this age. at least i learn what i can do at a young age an still have plenty of time to figure out if certain treatments will or wont work. i'll research prolotherapy an i'll get my doctors to as an see what they think of it. if they have the drug they might be able to help. been through a fair amount of surgeries with out much luck. after my recent surgery an my joint dislocating a week after it, well we know its failed. lets hope this can help, or at least help to some degree. some of my joints are at a stage of no return. like my one shoulder which the doctors are thinking of fusing (so dont want to do there at this age). lol thanks. it took a while to find that avatar, i saw it some were an i loved it but forgot were an when i saw it again i just saved it ^^

Treatments
- Oxycodone Working / Worked
- This medication controls my pain. It makes me slightly out of it, but that's a small price to pay for pain relief.
- Prolotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- This therapy took my pain from virtually uncontrollable to controllable with pain medication. This therapy is extremely painful. You cannot take anti inflammatories while receiving the therapy. My doctor wouldnt even let me take narcotic pain medication while I was doing the therapy. Its very useful for SI joint dysfunction but it was only able to repair one of my acetabular labral tears. Ill need to get surgery for the other one.
