Five Signs that SI Joint Problems Are Causing Your Back, Buttock or Hip Pain 

I just figured he's a doctor because of his handwriting :) Anyway, great video!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

And is a Man not Allein 🙄🙄🙄

I thought EXACTLY what you wrote.

Go with your Gut it's usually right in the first place I'm not sure either.

Hang in there, Corey! Did you first test out to see if changing the surface (aka the mattress) you're sleeping on is likely to help the problem? Maybe you've gotten the new mattress by now... if so, how's it going?

I've taken to sleeping on my sofa which has two cushions with a little slot in-between for my hip. Mostly I can at least get some sleep!

I've recently invested in an SI belt and it has helped tremendously with the pain. I even wear it to bed. That along with some strengthening exercises have reduced the pain. I've had this pain for about 15 years and no doc could help me diagnose what it was. I feel your pain, literally.

@Londoloco based on your comment i went on amazon and bought an Si belt. Its crazy it works lol. Ive had this weird sciatic hip lower back pain for almost 11 years now and wearing the little brace my pain is gone.

@@indigenousamerican3148 That's awesome!!! Glad to hear you're getting some relief.

Awesome- good for you!

How🤕

Yeah, I also noticed it. My GP sent me to specialist that told me nothing wrong just so harden fat.. What! Then 1year after I'm still complaining at my GP he told me to go see the specialist if been at last year I told him I don't want to go see that moron again. He said no it's a different guy. I know he must do an exam and he dis not do it the previous time so I took all my clothes off in a desperate attempt for him to look at my buttocks. We did some movement test but he told me its hamstring. I hope there Doctors know how hopeless they make us feel when they are doing such shitty jobs.

I dont understand that. Isn't the whole point of seeing your doctor to help resolve an issue? If a consultation and required tests do not uave answers..... it's time to think outside the box. How can a doctor accept not finding anything while you are still in tremendous pain? It's not hysteria.... somerhing is wrong so wake up Dotors and continue doing whatever is needed to make an accurate diagnosis. After all they are being paid to relieve pain and pinpoint the source of the pain to help their patient

@@cheripitout3273 high hamstring tendinitis?

@@maplenook Definitely tendinitis but the most pain is allocated behind the knee. Got some really helpful video on line. Mostly the bridge. They say 3 to 6 months of therapy would have you good as new.

If I barely touch that spot on my back it feels like a giant bruise

Does that cause frequent urination? I'm suffering with lower back pain, side pains under rib cage plus limitless bathroom visits for urination plus groin pain(defo I have no hernia) After I had a major surgery 3 years ago (that changed my life badly) I was a bed ridden spent half of the days in bed. Medical people they done so much test on me blood,urine,ultrasonography MRI you name it but they couldn't figure out what is wrong with me. So until last week I did not know about SI joints pains.,video's so now I'm trying to educate my self and my GP! We all sort initially Urinary tract infections and kidney stones problems. But was told my kidneys in the perfect conditions. I have no hernia.definitly. Any suggestions would be nice and appreciated. Thank you and god bless you all.

I am wondering if when I was thrown up in the air on a city bus & landing on m left hip started all this AS. Had OA before but never this horrific pain in m groin aerator left hip like I have now. Also compression fracture of L4 may have something to do with my As as well. Hard to know for sure I guess.

SWEETHEART I'M WITH YOU. I'M 64. AND BEEN DEALING W THIS PAIN SINCE AGE 23. WORKED AS CAREGIVER X 45 YRS. 1 KING SIZED BABY ALSO, BACK LABOR, BACK PAIN THROUGHOUT PREG. ETC. I'M A KAISER PT ( FOR YRS). IN 2015 DUE TO OPIOID CRISIS, THEY TOOK ME OFF OPIOIDS. I'M ALLERGIC OR HAD SIDE EFFECTS TO THE ALTERNATIVE DRUGS. NOW I'M ON SUBOXONE' OFF LABEL' FOR PAIN. I HATE TO SAY IT BUT THOSE DRUGS ALLOWED ME TO WORK AND HAVE A LIFE. I NEVER ABUSED. MDs ORDERS ALL THE WAY. DUE TO MEDS GOING AWAY I HAD TO SELL MY HOME, SPEND DOWN ASSETS AND APPLIED FOR SSI. SINGLE, NEVER MARRIED. NOW LIVING IN SEC 8 HOUSING. WHEN DOC PULLED THE MEDS I FELT MY REAL PAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DECADES. O M G!! IT WAS SO EXCRUCIATING. WHEN SHE ADDED BACK THE SUBOXONE IT WAS LIKE I WASN'T TAKING ANYTHING. TOLD HER ( MY DOC) THIS X 1 YR. SHE TREATS ALL PTS AS THOUGH WE ARE ALL ADDICTS. ITS HUMILIATING AND DEGRADING. NEXT SHE TOLD ME TO DRINK A SHOT OR 2 OF ALCOHOL (WHAT!!!) TO BUMP UP THE SUBOXONE. THIS DRUG HAS A DETERRANT IN IT SO YOU CANNOT BECOME INTOXICATED EVEN FROM ALCOHOL. IT DOES HAVE A NUMBING EFFECT ( THE ALCOHOL) BUT MUST HAVE 3 X THE ACCEPTABLE AMT. I HAVE FAM HISTORY OF ALCOHOL ABUSE!! CANN9T DO THIS!! WHAT THIS DOC IS THINKING BAFFLES MY MIND! THE PT I WORK WITH AT KP REALLY DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHAT SHE IS DOING AND SHE'S BEEN THERE FOR YRS AND YRS. NO ONE HAS EVER SUGGESTED SI JOINT ISSUES..CAN U BELIEVE THAT?? I'M GOING TO TRY THE TROCANTERIC BELT. I'M HAVING DIFFICULTY DOING BRIDGING EXERCISE AS MY LEGS SPASM. I'M SUPPLIMENTING WITH MAGNESIUM, VIT D, C, B-50'S, FISH OIL. IVE BEEN ON ANTIDEPRESSANTS BUT SINCE IVE SETTLED INTO MY OWN PLACE X yr AND LIFE HAS CALMED DOWN A BIT, I DO NOT NEED AS MUCH; SO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REDUCE DOSAGE. SEEING DOC IN JULY. I'VE BEEN DOING MY OWN RESEARCH AND CONCLUDED I HAVE PIRAFORMIS SYNDROME. SHE DID AN MRI THAT CONFIRMED. IT ALSO CONFIRMED THAT SINCE THE OPIOIDS WENT AWAY MY ARTHRITIS ETC HAD WORSENED GREATLY. WITHOUT THE PAIN RELIEF I'M PRETTY MUCH STUCK IN A CHAIR. I GET OUT AND WALK A MILE ON MOST DAYS. I SHOOT FOR EVERY OTHER DAY. COVID AND ISOLATION DID NOT HELP. NOW MY LEGS ARE SWELLING AND A FEW DAYS AGO MY R LEG STARTED DRAINING LYMPH FLUID. GREAT!! I STILL NEED COVID SHOT BUT HESITATE IF ANOTHER HEALTH PROBLEM IS GOING ON. CALLING GP IN AM. THIS IS JUST A DOMINOE EFFECT OF HELLACIOUS EVENTS COMPOUNDING. ITS FRIGHTENING. DON'T WORRY I HAVE ALREADY SHARED THIS W KP. WHAT A GIGANTIC 'CLUSTER FLUFF' THIS HAS BECOME. SOME PEOPLE STILL NEED THESE MEDS IF NOT JUST TO HELP THEM GET THE PT THEY NEED TO STRENGTHEN THE RIGHT MUSCLES. I'M WAY TO YOUNG FOR ALL THIS. MY SON AGE 40, DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME. DOESNT GET THAT EVERYONE TAKING OPIOIDS IS NOT AN ADDICT. SOME OF US ARE IN HELLACIOUS UNTREATABLE PAIN. WE NEED SOMETHING TO RELIEVE IT. AFTER ALL THESE YRS I'VE CONVINCED MYSELF I AM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. IN THE LAST YR I'VE GONE FROM BEING ABLE TO WALK 6 MILES A DAY AND BEING THOUGHT TO BE 34 YRS OLD TO BEING CALLED ELDERLY WHEN LEAVING MY MDS OFFICE CAUSEI HAD TO WALK OUT USING 2 CANES. ITS INSANE. PULLING THOSE MEDS WAS TRAUMATIZING. ITS LIKE STARTING OVER AGAIN AFTER BEING INJURED AGAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME. WAKING UP THE NEXT DAY IN A BADLY DAMAGED AND INJURED BODY IN EXCRUCIATING PAIN!! I'M INFURIATED AND HAVE BEEN SINCE THIS NIGHTMARE STARTED. I GET WHY PAIN PTS ARE KILLING THEMSELVES. ON ONE PARANOID NIGHT I EVEN STOPPED TO CONSIDER WHETHER THIS WAS PART OF OUT GOVTS LEFT WING COMMY PLOT TO EXTERMINATE THE WEAKER AMONG US. ( THIS WAS AFTER CUOMOS NURSING HOME SCREW UP. 🙄😬🤥. I STOPPED HERE AND STARTED READING THE POSTS. YOUR ENTRY RESONATED WITH ME. SORRY FOR THE LONG RANT AND I WUSH YOU GOOD HEALTH AND SUCCESS IN FINDING RELIEF FOR YOUR SI PAIN MY DEAR. GOD ( THE HOD OF YOUR BELIEF SYSTEM)...OR GODESS) BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU IN HIS/HER/ITS 🙄... LOVING ARMS.

Try swimming, you can exercise with less pressure on the joint

I hope that doc who suggested you were an attention seeker has lifelong haemmorhoids the size of meteorites!

Hey Deb! Thanks for watching... sorry to hear- sounds like you haven't had a great medical experience so far. Are you open to some help from me? I'd be happy to review your case and lay out a plan to see how we may be able to help. If you're interested- visit www.drcharliejohnsonpt.com/apply and select a time to chat with us.

I"m not watching it again, but didn't he say a clear sign was it being painful to push on those two bones sticking out above your back? I have exactly what you describe, I'm a little confused because that joint is right by the sciatic isn't it? The herniation causes more spastic pain ( I think), than a joint pain would. I get joint pain in my elbow, it just hurts sometimes, especially moving the joint. With the herniated disc at that area its positional, like sitting while driving and things like that.

Omg I feel like I’m dying when it happens my husband looks at me stupid and I’m so thankful you made this video

Hey Kathy! Welcome and thanks for watching. Yes, so now you need to follow what I call a "Pain Relief Process"... a systematic approach (not a sheet of exercises) to solve it. Goal would be to find ONE motion that improves how you're moving... and also teach you new strategies for moving and relieving your pain. End goal is to teach you how to fix yourself. Honestly, would be difficult to recommend exercises without knowing more specifics here. Are you open to potentially working together? No pressure, but if so- just visit www.drcharliejohnsonpt.com/apply and set up a time to chat. Hang in there Kathy!

I went through all the exercises and when I tried to do the ‘Diver’ there is was gripping pain and aggravated from then ‘lays back down’ your guide is absolutely brilliant! Thank you!!

How did you find figure it out eventually?

@@yasminzakarya I had same symptoms, this video kind of rules out SI joint, I'd never even heard of it til the other day. However, an x ray showed a messed up L7, S1, so thats right by the sciatic, so likely a herniated disc. That takes time to heal, and strength exercises help. I"m about three months in, about 70% than three months ago, and sort of the reverse. At first I couldn't lay down so hardly slept and sitting out of hte question. I stood and walked for about a month. Now sleeping is fine, even without elevation. The videos on strength training really help. I get spasms during hte day, but gotta just 'walk it off'. Wall squats and warrior poses are the main thing that eliminated pain. Surprised by the number of people who have had the same, even my mom. Takes about a half a year, and you have to work it. The healthcare system is pretty much useless in this regard, they gave me pain pills and they started affecting my liver immediately. The pain is either the spastic pain, which drungs don't help anyway, or strenght training helps. My x ray really only confirmed what I already know, and frankly an MRI is cost prohibitive but wouldn't help much I doubt anyway.

Probably swelling from inflammation.

I have got in my groin area.

Hey Lucy! Thanks for watching- sorry to hear- but thanks for sharing. For sure, MANY things you can do that will be far more effective than heat and pills.

Hey! Thanks for watching. Have you checked out my DIY guide? Should give ya some clarity. You can check it out here www.drcharliejohnsonpt.com/DIYGuide Check it out and then let me know your thoughts. Sound good?

My left SI has hurt for 45 years. 8 visit my chiro alot. I began feeling like my right groin area (inner part of leg joins the pelvis) needed to pop. Never went fully away. Doc sent me for PT which I am currently attending. I believe the exercises are helping. That outer hip also would sometimes ache so bad at night that I would dream I was trying to find a position to relieve that pain as the pain was so intense I would feel it in my dreams. I heard about a natural enzyme supplement. It relieved my pain in about a week and I stayed on it 2 mo. Chiro later said it's been around forever and is great. I found bottle of 800 on Amazon for around $40. Wobenzym N. Enteric coated so they are easy to swallow, smells "herbal", but if you find that offensive this is what I do: put 2 pills in each compartment of a 7-day pill case and leave it open for a week and the smell is nearly gone. I live in Florida and the humidity doesn't degrade the pills. Take at night so it's w/o food. I was off it for a couple months (didn't need it) but hip started complaining. Took 2 for 2 nights and the pain left. That was 4 weeks ago. So I keep it around to use as needed. It also helped some of the arthritis in my fingers, but not my SI. If you are elderly or have osteoporosis, manual chiropractic can become injurious. Find a chiropractor that uses the Atlas Orthogonal technique AND uses the activator on your spine and extremity joints. (Some AO drs only adjust the Atlas and ignore the rest of the body on the mistaken belief that once the Atlas is adjusted the rest of the body will compliantly obey😂. As if.) Mine is Keith Fady, Largo, FL...hope it's ok to share a GREAT doctor-I drive 65 minutes to get to him.

He gives his telephone number why don't you call

How are you doing now?

Hey Mona! Good question and maybe something for a future video… so, possibly… I guess.. but here’s how I’d think about it. If scoliosis were the cause of your pain, and I’m assuming your scoliosis has been present for years now, why SI joint pain now? Meaning, scoliosis is fairly common… and often shows up on images and gets blamed for the cause of pain. But, the truth is that if scoliosis is really the cause of the SI Joint pain- did the SI Joint pain begin when the scoliosis began? Get my point?

Haha- hey tony thanks for watching. Southeastern PA- home base is in Royersford PA. But truthfully- I’m 100% virtual and consult with folks worldwide with these issues (it’s my specialty) if you’re interested in help I’d be happy to chat to see if/how I can help and if it makes sense to work together.

@@drcharliejohnson you don't have an office? Do you take BC BS?

Hey- SI joint problems could be on either side. Doesn’t play favorites. But almost always one sided unless there’s some systemic issue at play. Could be SI joint issue in your case but much more likely that it would be referred pain from your spine. Check out this video with more details. Should really help ya out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g7Hw5Tfxi3k.htmlsi=J80NDofRWugpUZcz Also, grab a copy of my DIY Diagnostic Guide to help ya connect the dots- www.drcharliejohnsonpt.com/DIYGuide

No worries. Doesn't mean much honestly. SI Joint block in isolation (without clinical testing doesn't tell us a whole lot- whether it works or not). If it doesn't work- chances are it's not the SIJoint and you've got something else going on... Have you checked out my DIY Diagnostic Guide? Can download it for free here- www.drcharliejohnsonpt.com/DIYGuide

Yes does not sound like SI Joint based on the location you’re describing. Sounds like maybe hamstring? Lots of things to consider. I’d recommend you check out my DIY Diagnostic Guide - grab your free copy here www.drcharliejohnsonpt.com/diyguide

@@drcharliejohnson For the response doctor. Each time I hear it is the SI joint.. What would you suggest to help alleviate the pain?

Hey! Thanks for watching- sorry to hear about what you’re dealing with. What are you currently doing to try and solve it? Would you be interested in some help? Dr Charlie 👍

@@drcharliejohnson I live in UK and tbh our doctors are not really bothered i have spoke to GP over phone and she seemed to think it was my muscles but i think its the joint as my back jumps and gives out if I'm on my feet at work for a while.

@@pam164 hey Poppy, I’m in the same boat as you. The doctors have no idea whatsoever. I was referred to a specialist who was able to confirm it was SI joint pain. He still would not diagnose me though. Since then I went to physio, I worked out like animal and still do 5 days a week. I’ve seen an osteopath and paid £50 a session (NHS don’t offer osteopathy), it has given me a slight relief I must admit, it I’m still here watching these videos. I tried acupuncture for the muscle aches it causes and it did nothing for me. I even bought a simba bed which was 800 quid and guess what? Still no relief. I’m at my end. Thank god for naproxen I guess.

@@coreymichael1880 Why does our Doctors not take it seriously? I think with me being 60 they put it down to my age, but i still have to work till I'm 67 and some days i can hardly walk! I would just like to know what it is but they won't even see me telephone appointment! In the States they seem to take it a lot more seriously. Sorry you are in so much pain.

same here, I hope you got a good me relief, mine radiates from left venus dimple, I thought it was piriformis at first, hard to sleep

The S.I. joint won't relax, it's immobile.

I’m not pregnant and have been facing the same pain :(

Hey Sasha! No- the SI joint is a joint and therefore cannot directly cause nerve pain (sciatica)

Does laying on your side on either side on a hard surface eliminate symptoms?

@@coomodus2592 - No. I tried everything. I'm afraid it's too late for me. Leave me here. Try to help others. Tell them I did my best.

Lie on your back. Lift your knees. Extent your arms with balled fists and put them sue by side in between you knees. Squeeze for 3 second then relax and repeat a few times. Then with your knees still up use your hand to put apart your knees. 3 sec then release repeat a few times. Then with knees up again, push down on one knee wile pulling up the other. Prevent your knees from moving by doing whichever opposite with the pushing and pulling of your hands. Then switch. The knee you were pushing pull and vice versa. Hope I’m making sense. Take a tennis ball or something squishy and put it on the pain as you are living down. Put pressure on the point. You may also get one of those massage hammer or another massagers. Hope you understood me and this brings some relief. ❤️. Take care. “Bob and brad” channel on RU-vid is where I’ve gotten some good info. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c4HGOT9A5Mw.html Here’s another one ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mTFxY_HS8OM.html

The word Doctor comes from the Latin word for “teacher.” MDs or DO are no more a doctor than a PT with a clinical doctorate “doctor of PT.” The term is not exclusive to MDs or DOs. We’re just different and have our place/roles within the healthcare space. Not sure why it matters anyways...

🤣🤣🤣 thanks for watching!

Hey Helen. Its impossible to share a specific solution without knowing your individual case. What works for someone else may make you much worse. There isn't a one size fits all solution to be shared here.. pain is a bit more complex than that. Rather than share a specific exercises without context- I teach people a process for resolving their pain so that they (you) can discover what works for you. Does this make sense?
