Pregnancy SI Joint Pain Tips

 

 

I’ve always had weird back and hip pain. I have learned that the more active I am the more it helps. I would believe that it’s because of the tightening and strength of those muscles. When I am pregnant because of that relaxin hormone just everything loosens up and that has caused a lot of sacro-illiac joint pain.

 

Where the pelvic bone meets with the vertebrae there is a joint there, and when it shifts it can cause pain by either tightening of the muscles, or pushing on nerves. For me, it’s embarrassing, if I am out then I will be walking and get a sharp pain in my butt and then my leg gives out all dramatic like.

Sometimes it hurts so bad I don’t want to do anything. Below are some things that have helped me and I hope they can help you! Know I am not a doctor these are just things that I have found that help me!
