Sacral Stress Fractures - Causes & Treatment 

I was diagnosed with sacral stress fracture. I'm an athlete from Russia. This video was useful for me. Thank you very much!

This is awesome information. I was just admitted to hospital with broken sacrum. You were giving me more information than the doctors are able to give me. Thank you

Great information. I've just been diagnosed with a stress fracture in the sacrum. I've had pain for a few years now

Thank you for such an informative video!

Huge knowledge. Thank you 🙂

Most excellent!!

Great video! Have you ever made a video on sacroiliitis? The symptoms between a sacral stress fracture and sacroiliitis are quite similar but it seems like the treatment approach would be very different.

I was injured as part of school bullying when girl always beat me up with her kicks to my butt I had pain but emotional pain was worse After 20 plus years I experience often pain and I believe that’s why my butt is turned up because of pain even it’s not sharp for so many years So many consequences of that injury Seem stupid but it is unevitable And not sure if it will be shown on mri

Could you make a video about knee plica syndrome?

I LOVE you. This is so crucial for me right now. Do you offer MRI analysis?

Had MRI showing cracked sacrum. Going for CT scan and bone scan next week. okay definitely a cracked sacrum. What area can I get a cortisone shot to relieve my Pain!! Thank you. Seeing acute surgeon next week to find out exactly what he can do if any kind of arthroscopic surgery.

I had a bad motorbike accident landing in my sacral it destroyed my pelvic pelvic bulge three herniated disks and a bone edema on the right hip I train every day out of pain

Yeah I've deffo got sacral fracture as well as rami fracture when the freemasons planned my road accident three-weeks ago. This is obviously not a common cycling stress fracture and depends on how hard you fall and at which angle. Sacral stress fracture is very painful when you add pressure and it can hurt when sitting down.

Thank you SOOO much for this! I am on the opposite end of the spectrum in terms of being all but bedridden at age 56. It seems like you specialize in people who are fitness training -- so I'm not sure if you would be able to halp me figure out what's going on with my sacrum? Overall what i heard that chimes with my intuition is watch for what hurts and make sure I'm getting enough sun. Also that it takes time. Thank you very much! I think mine is from long term bad posture while crocheting. I had Tarlov Cysts that wore my sacral plate to eggshell thin from the inside and surgery on it 3 years ago. They remove the plate - had to use surgical tweezers to do mine because it kept shattering -- at the end they usually replace it but in my case there wasn't much to replace. They then put in some material that later forms into bone. Sorry if I'm not explaining it well. I only go into these details in case it sparks a thought or if you think you might be able to help figure out someone in my situation or if you might think of someone else that could help me online? Also, I have Marfan Syndrome. I totally understand if you don't respond to this because my guess is i am as far away from your specialty as possible but i left this info just in case. Your video was very helpful and informative and brilliant!!💜💜💜

I had 2times fractured sacrum and when I need to go number 2 and spasms to my sacram around time my tramadol is out and slowly getting worse spasms with in my back and scares my cat Pepsi is alerting me by biting me hard. And I get a refill of tramadol for my back to stop hurting me.

I have a distracted fracture involving the lateral base of the 5th metatarsal with a proximal fragment displaced approximately by up to .6 cm. Do you recommend surgery for this type of injury or can it be healed with time? Thank you.

I'm not an athlete but I suffered a pretty bad sacral fracture that an MRI detected . I couldn't even weight bear - the pain was excruciating, agonizing that I would cry because it was unbearable pain. Years of steroids to treat lupus contributed the this & of course I'm also deficient in Vitamin D3. I finally healed after a few months of bed rest but I've had pain ever since that fracture. Any kind of weight bearing is painful, every step is painful. Seems I'm always going to have problems & terrible pain from that fracture.

On Feb.18 I fell quite hard going down stairs & had fractured the transverse process of my L2 & L3 vertebrae. Which I knew that very moment I had fractured something. I have had both a clean break & fracture in different grades. Fractures definitely are worse pain wise. If you fracture something you will know for sure it's a fracture..but I drove myself to the e.r & they looked at me like I was joshin them but I got a mri but one without the dye..it showed the fractures. I was given 5 oxycoden with Tylenol & come back in if it gets worse. No brace or mention of one. I was given a small packet about fractures of the transverse process, causes symptoms recovery you know that whole bit.. well it had be slowly getting better.. I don't have the option to have rested as much as I should have because I have a 1 & 3 yr old. ..anyways slowly getting worse then literally on the 23rd I took a nap which I never do &when I woke up I had the most intense pain across my sacrum area radiating up the right of my lumbar spin of course & thought it was just a symptoms caused by my lumbar fractures & they'd dwindle & go away.. like so painful & intense I randomly & becoming more frequent can not turn even to take a step like my legs won't listen to my brain & start dragging then triggers my sacrum to spasm painfully from bottom then up & I can't walk & have to grab something to take the weight off & stop the spasm.. I can't lift with out intense pain every time. Or lean slightly any direction or walk or turn without triggering that wicked spasm..Idk if I should be worried or just wait it out😞. Literally causing a lot of stress on me & I know I have burn out.. I can't keep up with my duties no how much I try & push through those spsams..

I’m just wondering if I could contact you for some advise ? Iv returned from a femoral neck stress fracture and instantly got a stress reaction in the sacrum . I think this is coming from an imbalance issue i regularly have to be re aligned by my chiropractor. Left hip ( side that’s had both fractures ) is always higher before alignment . I did catch it early it’s at stress reaction stage but as I’m constantly getting issues on this left hip I can only link it to that side always being higher ?

ive got a transverse fracture S2-S3 what are the best excercises to do its been 4 weeks since happened

I recently few backwards whilst doing box jumps and landed backwards on my sacrum. The fall was extremely painful, but I have minimal bruising and sitting or short periods of walking does not cause me much pain. However if I move suddenly, squat or even sneeze, it is painful. How likely is it that this is a stress fracture vs. an SI joint sprain? Really unsure as to whether to get an MRI or not - especially due to their cost!

Are PT exercises assigned as part of this recovery process? I had gluteal issues for 6 months before the back pain sacral stress reaction joined the party,. Then I was assigned lots of PT stuff mostly around spine stabilization and I've just stagnated with constant low grade pain for 5 months. So... I'm wondering if my recovery trajectory has been off target?

I had lung inflammation and was on Prednisone for one year. My lungs are fine now but I believe the Prednisone hurt my bone density. I probably should be taking calcium supplements?? Hopefully you can advise and help. Thank you

Due to a bad car accident my sacrum broken how long will it take to recover
