Guest guest Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Tami: My myofascial physical therapist does massage to that area as it is an inner tuberosity to the Sacral Iliac Joint. I have Sacral Iliac Syndrome which is explained here and sounds like what you have : Patients often experience pain in the lower back or the back of the hips. Pain may also be present in the groin and thighs. In many cases, it can be difficult to determine the exact source of the pain. Your physician can perform specific tests to help isolate the source of the pain. This is from : http://www.medicinenet.com/sacroiliac_joint_pain You can read up on it , it is called sacral iliac joint dysfunction also, and the sciatic nerve is close to that and that is where the thigh pain comes from. My physical therapist diagnosed and my sacral iliac joint was misaligned at the time and this last time my pubic area where I had fallen on my butt got out of align and when she aligned it, I felt such relief. I had this before I fell and it can exist from other reasons besides injuries. My therapist measures the alignment of my sacral joints, leg length, and does hand on exam and always puts her finger on the place that is the pain generator. I do not go to a chiropractor and this myofascial physical therapist does gentle manipulation and there is no pushing and pulling. I have my own home exercises I do to keep it corrected. Hope this helps. Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Wow thanks so much Bennie for the information. I am going to check it out. I just had my yearly blood work done and everything was normal so my potassium level is normal. Thanks again and gentle hugs, Tami ---Bennie wrote: > > Tami: > > My physical therapist diagnosed and my sacral iliac joint was misaligned at the time and this last time my pubic area where I had fallen on my butt got out of align and when she aligned it, I felt such relief.
