does anyone know how to get rid of pain in the SI joint. Gwen I thought it was my hip, but after seeing my ortho he said it's my SI joint. Thanks
LOL

I've had three rounds of prolotherpay in my SI joint with VERY good results. Email me if you need info or have questions. Good Luck Sister!

through trial and error, I've learned a way to stretch first one leg then the other while lying on my back. It seems to "pop" things back into allignment and relieve pain in the SI region.

I actually first tried it after watching a physical therapist pop my daughter's pelvic girdle back into allignment. It's kind of hard to explain, but I just force one leg to extend as far as I can by rocking the hip. Then I repeat with the other side. I can usually feel it pop. It relieves the pain for awhile.

Yeah, my sacro-iliac joint is one of my worst areas for pain. It''s like toothache over a huge scale isn't it? I tend to pop my hip in & out to get relief. Let's see, I stand with my weight on the leg of the affected side and slightly bend the knee. My hip pops out and when it's really bad, if I lie down & do it it tends to pull off my sacro-iliac joint. I also get relief from the osteopath. If all else fails sitting on a knobbly chair arm or such like not only gets strange looks but also gives a little relief. Hope that's helped a bit. If you get any more tips from anywhere i'd love to hear them. Happy popping.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I will try them out and see how they work. Let the popping commence.

P.S. I will let you know if I find anything else that works.
