I injured my SI joint a couple of years ago by falling off an exercise ball in the seated position and hitting the really hard floor at the gym. I had physiotherapy, ultrasound therapy, tried a SI joint support belt and none have really helped. My SI joint bothers me if I do a lot of walking or sitting for long periods of time. Sometimes the joint feels stiff or it feels too loose. Ice and tylenol don't really help for long. Is there anything else I can do or will my SI joint always cause me pain?
I'm sorry you suffer from right sided SI joint pain too. Thank you for your suggestion of trying foundation training. I watched the second video and will try the exercises when it's not so hot in my apartment.
I use a TENS UNIT, lots of Biofreeze, ice and heat. I can no longer stand for more than five minutes without having to sit. I have to use a scooter when I go shopping or anywhere I need to do a lot of walking. I've been in pain management for 3 years.
Steroid injections help some people. Only other option I know of is surgery.
The injection can only be done once every 6 months. I had it. It didn't last long..3 days. Both my parents had it with the same result.
But if the injection works for you, it will help you continue pt. Also might want to consider aquatherapy.
