Anyone else here ever deal with SI joint pain and/or piriformis syndrome?
MP4VT2004 • 09/07/22 02:37 PM ET
I've found that Voltaren really helps with my periodic aches and pains.
MikeVT85 • 09/07/22 11:44 PM ET
I have the exact same issue
Spudnut • 09/07/22 06:04 PM ET
No kidding! I was just talking about that with a coworker.
MP4VT2004 • 09/07/22 06:11 PM ET
Innova
Spudnut • 09/07/22 06:30 PM ET
Are we still talking about back pain? TIC
MP4VT2004 • 09/07/22 06:35 PM ET
Lol!
Spudnut • 09/07/22 06:47 PM ET
Ha! Yes I can totally relate.

Thanks Photo - I remember you posting that graphic before...
MP4VT2004 • 09/07/22 03:47 PM ET
I've been able to cope with lower back & sciatic nerve issues doing those.
PhotoHokieNC • 09/07/22 03:56 PM ET
Don't know if chiropractic can help with that or not, but I've had some
coshokie • 09/07/22 03:22 PM ET
I've had SI issues in the past and chiropractic definitely helped**
Galenahokie • 09/08/22 09:00 AM ET
Well a quick google indicates they can. I'd find a good one and try that**
coshokie • 09/07/22 03:33 PM ET
Yeah, definitely considering a chiro. and/or acupuncture.**
MP4VT2004 • 09/07/22 03:51 PM ET
I've dealt with extreme lower back pain for about 16 years....
JoesterVT • 09/07/22 02:56 PM ET
Yeah that is pretty much my situation, too.
MP4VT2004 • 09/07/22 02:58 PM ET
Also try a DO that does manipulation and stretching.
calihokie • 09/07/22 06:33 PM ET
nope....the missus handles it...
JoesterVT • 09/07/22 03:09 PM ET
Yeah, that's exactly what I think my issues are, as well.
MP4VT2004 • 09/07/22 03:13 PM ET
One more thing
Spudnut • 09/07/22 06:53 PM ET
Got one of them...but haven't perfected the use yet. Will work on that.
MP4VT2004 • 09/07/22 06:55 PM ET
And a percussion gun.
Spudnut • 09/07/22 06:58 PM ET
Piriformis. Yes. Did it suck? Yes.
great2bahokie • 09/07/22 02:52 PM ET
Interesting, thanks. What kind of strength exercises do you do?**
MP4VT2004 • 09/07/22 02:55 PM ET
I'd find a gym with a reverse hyper machine and...
bluehokie • 09/08/22 10:45 AM ET
Squats, leg presses and hamstring curls
great2bahokie • 09/07/22 03:18 PM ET
Interesting...no-weight squats seem to have really flared up my issues.
MP4VT2004 • 09/07/22 03:30 PM ET
Try lunges instead
Beerman • 09/07/22 03:45 PM ET
Thanks 👍**

MP4VT2004 • 09/07/22 02:49 PM ET
No! He said TENS! Aren't you listening??? **
HokieGator • 09/07/22 03:43 PM ET

MP4VT2004 • 09/07/22 03:52 PM ET
As high as you can tolerate 220/221 whatever it takes.**
Major Kong • 09/07/22 02:54 PM ET
At this point I may be willing to try 480V/3ph. TIC**
MP4VT2004 • 09/07/22 02:56 PM ET
I prefer the SI swimsuit issue**
statmanfromHCyrs • 09/07/22 02:42 PM ET
The old version or the BW version? TIC**
MP4VT2004 • 09/07/22 02:43 PM ET
