Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Posted May 7, 2008 April, did you have the injections directly into your SI Joint? I have SI Joint Dysfunction myself. Thanks, ~ChelleApril M wrote: I had prolotherapy to help my sacroiliac joint about 6 years ago. I wanted to have a baby and my back was horrible from an injury. I had numerous injections in my lower back and pubic symphysis. It helped my back and my VV. It is EXTREMELY PAINFUL but it does help! Quote
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Posted May 8, 2008 Chelle, I don't think they give the injections right in the SI joint. They give them in all of the ligaments surrounding the joint. He believes that strengthening the supporting ligaments will not allow the SI joint to move so much. My joint was very hypermobile! When I went in for a session, he would give me a ton of injections! I had prolotherapy to help my sacroiliac joint about 6 years ago. I wanted to have a baby and my back was horrible from an injury. I had numerous injections in my lower back and pubic symphysis. It helped my back and my VV. It is EXTREMELY PAINFUL but it does help! Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now. Quote

I was also hypermobile and that was the only thing that helped me.Hi April, I remember you saying that prolotherapy helped your SI joint. Who was the Physical Therapist that treated you? Before I ever mentioned prolotherapy, my local pain Doc told me that I shouldn't even considered it. I realize, though, that is just his opinion. ;)Thanks, Chelle Quote
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 If you go to the coccyx.org site they have some scary things to say about prolotherapy, nevertheless i am interested in understanding more about it, as injections or surgery seem to be the only other options Re: Prolotherapy - April >>>>>If they manipulations don't work, you could try prolotherapy.
