Pain in the bottom lower back! Si?

I’ve been on holiday recently with toddler so a lot of lifting, carrying, standing and walking. More than I’m use to have hypermobility and fibromyalgia. Though never experienced this pain.

I don’t recall twisting or doing anything where I went ouch but was walking and suddenly felt the pain; then realised the pain gets way worse when I sit (thats the worst) or certain movement or going from sitting to standing. It’s least sore when just standing.
I went to doctor on return as the pain makes me cry as it’s that painful. She said SI joint but i’m a bit worried about how long this pain will last and what to do other than paracetamol. As it messes stomach
would an osteopath help?
The pain is like a shooting knife like sensation it doesn’t go into my legs or hip or higher back. It’s middle of bottom to lower back. Main pain.
but I want to scream when I sit down.
its definitely in muscle as have had issue with h before and there is just now but feel this wouldn’t cause the internal muscular!

circled red the worst!

Sounds like SI joint alright, go to an osteopath or physio.

Go and see a physiotherapist who can properly diagnose and treat you.
