has anyone ever had this done? about 2 months ago i fell on my bed hard and felt a clunk in the lower back/SI joint region My muscles went into spasm and the next day buttocks and hamstrings tighten right up. It eased off after a few days but was still tight and not quite right a month after thisI went to see a local osteopath who did 2 high velocity thrusts in 6 sessions (the rest was just gentle mobilisation) after the first thrust it felt great the next day but did notice an increase in small clicks in my back after initial movement - I told my osteopath this and a week late he did another HVT. After this one I notice more and more clicks and when going from stalking to walking my back grinds together 5 out of 10 times and if I turn over at night without being careful or put on a sock without being careful I'll get a clunk. Its becoming more and more frequent now and can even feel movement when walking down the stairs. Im pretty sure that some of these clunks are in my SI joint as I get soreness on the outsides of the sacrum Is it possible that after my initial fall I strained a sumber/SI ligament and the 2 proceeding thrusts performed have further strained it causing instability in the lumbar/si area. I recently went to see a physio last week who specialises in the SI joint and she said its moving too much and is moderately unstable. I've been doing strengthening exercises for 6 weeks now and although my muscles feel stronger the clucking is not decreasing and im getting soreness over the saddle area which I've never had before. I've never had any joint soreness with my back problems only tight muscles before the high velocity thrusts were performed and now sitting down for more than 30 mins is getting a problem. I've told my osteopath this and he keeps saying its perfectly normal and will die down in a few weeks and wants to carry on treating me in the same way with the firm stance that the SI joint should not move (its moving too much now!) his only thoughts now are to have a epidural and to go to physio for strengthening (the 2 things which he said were a load a rubbish when I first went to see him and has been slagging off constantly) the week before that he said I was only half way through the treatment course and a week later he's telling me he's done all he can do for me and passing me on without acknowledging im in a worst state know than I was - more clunking, more stinging in legs (now both!) and soreness in my lower lumbar joints and si joints (which I never had) and even bowell irritation! I feel like I've been shafted! Anyway back to the point im going to see someone who specialises in the SI joint and prolotherapy so hopefully he can indenify the extent of my strained ligaments and if prolotherapy is an option or if it can be sorted without that Has anyone got any experience of this procedure?
