SI Joint Pain

AGDChrissi

I am 8 months pregnant and I have severe SI joint pain on my right side. I have been to my family doctor who prescribed pain killers and physical therapy (I don't take any pain medicine while pregnant.) I have been to the chiropractor, massage  therapist, and tried yoga.

Nothing helps and it is getting worse. I am not able to walk without a lot of pain.

  Has anyone had a similar experience? If so what did you try. If you have a specialist in the metro detroit area please include that info.

Thanks!

Did you try the physical therapy? That helped me when I was pregnant with DS. Also, swimming helped. The water took a much of weight off my back and made it easier to move around.

GL!

i had it during my entire pregnancy as well. ended up having it still after i had my daughter and had tests ran, found out i had 2 herniated discs and after no treatments working i had a disc fusion. and that was 7 months ago, and i still have sever si joint pain! it never got better after my surgery. and i am also trying to find  a dr who treats si joint problems. and i am coming up with nothing! if i happen to find someone i will definitely post on here for you.i found an si joint center in kalamazoo but thats about it. i am on the internet daily and making phone calls daily to find a dr who treats this. i hope your pain goes away after you have the baby and that you dont end up like me in pain for 18 months. good luck. ill post if i find anyone local!
