Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Bennie, Yes about my SI joint. I have had two spinal fusions, L3-S2 now, started with L4-S1. The only thing this fusion has done was eliminated most of my sciatica, not much help at all with the back pain. In fact, it has made it worse. You sure went through a lot with your pregnancy, that must have been terrifying! I am glad you made it through! Your suggestion about a new mattress is one that I wish we could afford. I know that would make a huge difference but it just isn't in the cards right now. I don't sleep in the bed often because of it. Most of the time I am in the rocker recliner, it gives me the best sleep and I don't wake up as often or as sore. Unfortunately it is starting to break down so I don't know how much longer I will have it. I have pretty much rocked it off its rocker, cushions are not much of cushion any more and I have to tighten the screw for the back rest continuously. I don't think any chair is made for as much use as I give them! :- 0 Thank you for your care! Janeene Bennie wrote: I know with pregnancy the SI joint sometimes separates causing back pain. Did they ever check that out? . I hope you feel better each day, I lost eight units of blood when I had my son with placenta acreta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
