Does Walking Help SI Joint Pain? - #60342
I am dealing with this ongoing throb in my lower back that's driving me nuts. Turns out, after a bunch of tests, it’s Osteitis Condenses Illi pain. The docs say it's not super common but man, does it hurt. Some days it’s like a dull ache, other days it’s almost sharp, especially when I try to move in certain ways. I have been trying to figure out how to release SI joint pain, but everything I read just feels like more questions. I keep wondering if this sacroiliitis thing is permanent or if there's hope for me to get back to normal. I mean, does walking help SI joint pain or make it worse? I have tried icing it sometimes, and it feels a little better for a bit, but then the pain just comes back. Anyone else been through this? I’m just feeling kinda stuck and honestly frustrated. What are some natural ways to manage this? Like, should I be doing stretches or something? Any advice would really be appreciated because I need to find a way to cope with this Osteitis Condenses Illi pain and get my life back on track!
