Anyone else experiencing this?
I’m 27f, at least 15yrs of SI joint feeling out of place & needing to pop back in. Sciatica included. Mostly my left side, occasionally the right. I’ve been able to put up with the pain, just became normal aside from the bad flare ups. But tbh those are my norm too I guess.
But what’s really concerning lately is some different areas of pain that I think is associated with SI.. but can’t for the life of me wrap my head around all of the anatomical diagrams I come across, trying to see how it all connects.
Keep in mind, I can’t be certain about time frames since I’m in pain in one way or another every day & don’t really keep track.
Outer left hip pain: I think I’ve experienced this for years, but was only really apparent when I woke up..? It’s becoming more frequent now, but still only hurts when I walk. I can’t even properly describe where it is, but from looking up possible things, maybe trochanteric bursitis..?
Front top thigh pain, next to groin: I think I’ve only experienced this a handful of times, but today.. wow. Walking in & out of petco was a challenge. Again, only when I walk. Feels like it’s radiating across horizontally, but doesn’t feel like how sciatica pain feels.
Never been officially diagnosed with anything, most of what I know was found out from chiropractors mentioning things about my body all blasé blasé, like I already knew: sciatica, sacroiliitis, hypermobility, etc. I’ve always experienced joint & tendon pains in multiple areas & am just in chronic pain. I’ve tried to see an orthopedist years ago, but got discouraged when I called & still haven’t tried again lol.. I finally found the doc I wanted to see, called, & the receptionist asked what I’d be seeing him for. I listed: back, sacrum, hip, arm, wrist, foot, etc. she said, “were you in a car crash??” I was like uhhh no I’m just in pain. I didn’t know, & she explained, that I’d have to go get seen for each individual thing one at a time. I said ok thanks, hung up & cried lol..
Anyway, is anyone else experiencing those pains that feel like they’re shifting from si joint to other places? Is it bone? Muscles? Tendons? Also, is this genetic? I’m getting scared bc the past two years both my father & brother have gotten back/hip surgeries. Ain’t no way I’m doing that. Gonna get into strengthening soon, never worked out too much & scared I’ll overextend or hurt myself more if there’s arthritis or something.
TLDR: years of si pain, now outer & front hip.. you have too? Why? :(
