Newly diagnosed and learning

Moe than likely, I'm afraid to say. I got the most terrible pain in my sacro iliac joints (back of the pelvis about 3cm each side of the lower spine), as well as the hip joints themselves, legs.....and so on. I really found a pillow between my lower legs, from knees to ankles when sleeping on my side helped. It stopped the upper leg pulling down toward the bed, and so stopped twisting those joints. Also, the pillow stopped the bones pressing on each other. None of the standard pain tablets helped me, other than endone, which then turn my bowels into concrete, with a whole set of new problems to add to the first lot. Gentle walking helped, flat surface. as did pelvic rocking, (remembered from by pregnancy days 30+ years age) Get on your hands and knees,and then lift your bum in the air, with your arms flat and level with the bed, (the way babies like to sleep). Relax for a minute or so, then straighten your arms, so you're in the crawling position, and then move your pelvis backwards and forwards in a smooth, slow rocking motion...very soothing.
