Twisted pelvis,anyone with experience of this?

[Beauregard]

Had pain in my sacrum ,coccsyx and pelvis during pregnancy with dd2 ,pain didn't go so i went for physio when dd was 3 months old and i was told that the right side of my pelvis was twisted and they tried to manipulate it back which didn't work so i was given exercises (mainly and ironically pelvicfloor)and sent away.I did them for a few weeks but it made no difference although still try to remember the pfloor ones.I have been referred back to physio as the pain is still no better and i have an appointment on friday ,so i guess what i want to know is has anyone else had this ?did the physio make any real and lasting difference ?and is there any alternative other than osteopath etc?

I have this too! DS is 18 months old and I still suffer terribly. I went to physio too and they gave me loads of excersises that I was supposed to do three times a day - like you get time to do them with a new baby around! i suppose that i'm not really helping myself to be honest but would much prefer to be able to go to someone who could manipulate my bits back into place I try to at least do the pelvic floor bits and I can feel the muscles pull in my back as I do them so they must be benefiting me. I'll watch this thread with interest!

Do you find the pain is worse when sitting?
I cant even sit on a swing with dd at the park without suffering for it.
Does yours creak and crack?

I had a 'rotated' pelvis resulting in lots of pain as you describe because my legs are an inch different in length. I have to say the physio was useless but the osteopath I saw privately sorted me out fantastically - they get years training specifically on manipulation wheras it's only a part of a physio's training so they're never going to be as expert (please don't get me wrong, love physios, just think everyone has their area of expertise). The other thing I found helped was lots of massage (ospeopath should do this at time of manipulation) - this is because if you've had bone structure out of place for any length of time the muscles tighten and becaome used to the new position. This tightness pulls the bones back to the wrong position after manipulation so they need to go hand in hand. Can't see pelvic floor excercises helping either - general excercise would probably do no harm though and I was advised to get plenty.

I shall be getting plenty of exercise when dd1 starts school next monday as we live 30 mins walk away,although physio did tell me not to exercise or walk anywhere unless absolutely neccersary lol but then she also told me to get lots of rest!

I try to crack mine sometimes as it seems to give a bit of short lived relief.
I work three days in an office and I really struggle some days.
I can't be in one position for any length of time, sleeping is a nightmare as i'm constantly tossing and turning trying to get comfy and as for bedroom activities....Mmmmmm! I don't know much about osteopaths-do they cost lots of pennies or can I get referred by my GP?

I had a wonky pelvis after dd was born 2.5 yrs go. I went to a private Osteopath and he identified it. I had a couple od sessions which sorted me out but I also have a damaged facet joint. I recently had injections into the joint which was horribly painful during and afterwards and I have to say has made no difference really. So, now I see a Physio. This is proving to be a waste of time so my advice is to go see a good Osteo, they work wonders, it's expensive but worth it.
Good Luck

I need to get it sorted because I would eventually like to have another baby but the thought of another pregnancy like the first fills me with dread

Did they say that the pregnancy caused yours?
I was very uncomfortable towards the end but it was my 2nd pregnancy so i thought that was just the way it went.

Yep. I didn't have any back problems before. I was diagnosed with sciatica at about 6 months which I was told would go as soon as i'd had baby, it did but only for a couple of days then the pain came back in the opposite side. I was referred to a physio who said my pelvis and sacrum (spelling) are twisted.
