SI joint injury

Björn, you should not answer this until we have a real name of Mr. ruda. In order to be an 8a member you have to register your real name. It would not be so fun to surf 8a if everyone were using fake name. This is in fact what makes www.8a.nu unique... I hope you understand this :)

Hi Mr Ruda As Jens says it is for the community good to have a legitimate identity on this forum - get back to me with one and some more specific information on how and where it hurts and will try to give some advice Carpe diem Björn

I´m sorry. Ruda

It hurts on left site of lower back (upper bottom), pain fire to left hip. It most hurts when I´m sitting. Ruda

Hi Ruda With the bits of information you have given me this can be a disc compression in the lower back with inpignement of one branch of the ischiadic nerve it might also be just a chronic inflammation in the ligaments of this area. As allways I recommend you to let a trained medical professional to examine and treat this. I would think that you will be recommended to let a kiropraktor losen the lower back and that you will be given antiinflmmatory medication for at least 3-4 weeks, this period you will take it very easy with hard training and at the same time , every day do several sets up situps to strenghten the stabelizing poer of the abdominals - the releive pressure on your lower back. The situps should be done slowely with a short but defenite lock-off in the contracted position. You can use two methods 1- laying flat on your back - your feet propped up against your butt - arms flat on the floor to your sides - crunch with your stomach muscles so that your soulderblades just leaves the floor - hold in the upmost position shortly - lower down slowely -repeat for a number of 20-40 rest and do 2 more sets. 2 - get a gym ball (60-100 cm in diameter - lay with your lower back on the curvature of the ball - your arms crossed over your chest - balance with your legs wide apart on the flooor- lower slowely to a fully stretched position and directly chrunch back up. As you abdominals get stronger you will actually be able to keep the load off your lower back and thus releive disc pressure. Once again this i a guess based on the informaton I got. Carpe diem Björn
