Hip (SI joint pain) fix?

[KerryB]

hey guys and girls, I have been suffering with SI joint pain on my left side. I've backed off mid/high kicking on my left side to reduce aggravating my hip. does anyone else suffer from SI joint issues and if so what exercises/yoga/stretches do you use to help reduce pain and to strengthen the area, any insight would be greatly appreciated:) discuss!!!!

I can ask for you when I'm back at work (trauma theatre) if you like. When is it most painful? Has it been officially diagnosed as a sacro-iliac problem?

I asked two orthopaedic surgeons: they both said to continue exercising (movement is good) but if doing something ia painful, then don't do what causes pain. Rest is not generally helpful. Best thing is to do the specific exercises as recommended by your physiotherapist who has examined you.

Some people with SI pain go on to develop sciatica, which is not good.

One of them said he has SI pain too, and it's rotten.
