The belt did not help me at all. The things that make it worse are any motion that allows me to use only one leg at a time and gives the SI joint a chance to move. The biggest improvement I found after MANY years was ballet -- something about all those plie moves and static contractions made a big difference.

Make sure to tell your rheumatologist everything you’ve told us, and hopefully it will prompt her to think of a different diagnosis, treatment, or life style change that might help more than your current meds.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331757616246410895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-12351761333529310072021-10-07T17:59:18.638-04:002021-10-07T17:59:18.638-04:00I bought a Si belt (back brace) on Amazon and it h...I bought a Si belt (back brace) on Amazon and it helped me.

Her orthopedist referred her to a pain clinic. She received a nerve block shot directly into the joint and it did the trick! She felt SO much better immediately. The pain clinic doctor said she may need to come in once a year for another shot.

After xrays and an eventual MRI which just showed degenerative arthritis and inflammation. I then got a cortisone shot in the SI joint and that plus a lot of physical therapy and it FINALLY feels better. Highly recommend if your doc is up for it.M Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08480959026272095414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-85809902070856306922021-10-07T09:04:19.544-04:002021-10-07T09:04:19.544-04:00Oh yes to the sacroiliac pain.

The book, The Egoscue Method of Health Through Motion by Pete Egoscue is probably available at your library, but there are also youtube videos. Static back press saves me when I'm in pain. I can do it on the floor or in bed with pillows piled up. Also air bench and gravity drop. I do gravity drop on the stairs.

It ended up being our mattress causing the pain (which made me mad I didn't think of that sooner but that's a different story lol) but in the meantime before our new mattress got delivered, I did yoga and core work and it helped immensely. I didn't do it long each day, maybe a half hour max. Not sure if this would help as it sounds like you have a Amanda Karnitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13580689543342367545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-40103613194780509832021-10-07T08:28:20.238-04:002021-10-07T08:28:20.238-04:00Your rheumatologist ruled out psoriatic arthritis,...Your rheumatologist ruled out psoriatic arthritis, correct? Do you have any spots that might be psoriasis? It's a tough one to diagnose with blood work, from what I know, but your symptoms sound SO much like my sisters.
