Default sacroiliac joint

His guys

I have had possibly some sort of SI problem for 3 months now, i had had lower back ache for a month or so but thought nothing of it, as everyone gets back ache, then one evening went for a quiet drink with my friends, returned home about ten, started to play poping some bubble wrap with my feet, within an hour I could nt move, my partner had to assist in getting me to and of the loo.

Was in complete agony in my entire lower body lower back, hips, bum, thigh and calfs with sharp shooting stabbing pain radiating all over in about 3-5 places at anyone one point in both hips, thighs, calfs and bum and bed riden unable to move for about a week or 2.

after a week or 2 complete bed rest, I attempted work, I work as a designer which envolves sitting straight for 8.5hrs a day, this was impossible as I could only manage about 20 mins at a time before I was reduced to tears, so after 2 days was off work again and back to the docs.

after a while I finally managed to return to work on reduced hours, slowing uping my hours as time went by from 3-6.

have seen 4 different doctors and a physio, and have good and bad days. Im finally booked in for an MRI just to double check that, I am receiving the best treatment, and that it is SI problem and not a disk, due to teh amount of nerve pain im getting, as after last week my first full week of 8.5 hours sat solid and physio on friday my nerve pain returned with vengeance, so have been of work since. I currently have no life, as I only have so many hours of activity I can do, so my hours have been spent trying to work meaning, no cleaning doing the washing or cooking when i return home, you can imagine the state of me and my house.

I live of tramadol, and naproxen which makes me out of my nut and sick, but I have no option. I have already lost out on promotion due to this problem and being of my head attempting an interview. I need to get better asap so I can think about getting a new job. It gets you very very down and I spend most of time, either a. of my nut or b. in pain and crying. This is also not helping at work because it has left me with a shorter fuse then normal.

Im so desperate to return to normal life asap and even sat her for 20 min typing this has given me my nerve pain back down my legs I only find laying helps to ease it, well somtimes, But as you can imagine, you can't lay at work, can't lay to do washing/clean, lay to meet your friends at the pub or club. Im so sick of this and just want to know if other sufferers have found any treatments that really help, get ride of this problem.

I have been called the durecell bunny before, as im the sort of person who is always doing something up and about, cleaning, sorting seeing freinds, love to go out and dance the night away, to having active fun jumping around playing with kids. For me this life im leading at the moment would be my idea of hell on earth. being pretty much bed/sofa bound, im not a lay and watch tv person.

If anyone has tried any treatments that help to mend this problem, I would love to know about it. I really am desperate to get myself better asap
