so I've been having wicked pain in my hip/lower back/ into my butt on my right side. When I went to the doctors today for our monthly appointment I finally mentioned it and she thinks it's sacroiliac joint pain, from leaning back more now when I stand and walk due to my growing stomach. She suggested looking up stretches for it online before going referring me to physical therapy.
Any of you also experiencing this or know of any stretches that help it?
Re: Sacroiliac joint pain
Eta: A chiropractor who is certified to work with pregnant women, or D.O. who practices manipulation can help a lot as well.
@TheThornBird those suggestions definitely are helpful and I'll have to give them a try! It's been wicked painful and really don't want to have to go to physical therapy
My therapist is having me do low intensity strengthening exercises like pelvic tilts and kegals and didn't have me stretch at all since it would only make the issue worse. It was a pain making the pt appt but I ended up needed the opposite of what I thought of what I needed to do
2) .......Chiropractor who specializes in Webster technique
3) Prenatal yoga with Blooma certified instructor. I recently discovered pigeon pose really helps with my SI pain.
