I think I broke my pelvis

Nicks10

I woke up last night with pain right at the point of my pelvic bone, and it hurt to roll over. It still hurt when I was getting ready this morning, with a little pressure in my tailbone area too, and I even woke DH up to tell him I thought I broke my crotch, though I wasn't sure how I did it. It felt muscular, and I did work out last night, but I didn't really do anything differently, and couldn't figure out how even if I over stretched, I could possibly have stretched out that region.  I mean, if my inner thighs hurt, ok, but the nether regions, really?

It hurt walking to work this morning, so of course the first thing I did was google it, and found this - Symphysis pubic dysfunction.  It's apparently a real thing, caused by the hormone relaxin (that sounds made up, I know).  It seems a little early for me to be getting it, because I'm just entering 2nd tri, but who knows. I was trying to figure out if I did anything to cause it, and found that squats can aggravate it, and the pain shows up a few hours later.  Bingo, I did squats last night.  Ironically, I was doing them because the rest of the class was doing exercises on their bellies, which I thought better to avoid.  Ugh, I hope with rest and some kegels and exercises to help it I can make it better.  I will mention it to my doctor next time I talk to her.  I just don't want this to get worse, if it's really what it is, or it's going to be a long 6 months.  I feel like such a dummy and a weirdo now with my impaired pelvis

I had this exact thing happen to me about two weeks ago, it freaked me out but greatfully it only lasted about 3 days.  It has since gotten better, but I am very cautious to avoid stretching that area.

OUCH!  Definitely try to take it easy if you can.  Perhaps sick days from work for the rest of the week?
