Guest guest Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Thanks, Kim. You really explained it so I can relate to the pain. Yes, the sharp pain I was having " took my breath away " . Couldn't do much until it stopped or I moved a different way. Kind of hard to do when you're trying to get out of bed, though! I e-mailed Sharon Whittemore and I'll see if I get a reply from her. The sharp pain has not been happening so much the past few days. Now I feel a dull ache, or heaviness in my pelvic bones where the bolts are. Sometimes I feel the screws where they go into the pelvic bones with a kind of " twinge " or heaviness in that area. I have also gone almost totally off of the Oxycontin, so I'm sure that will have some kind of effect. I am trying to be careful doing my PT exercises, and also trying my darndest to tighten my stomach and pelvic floor muscles to help. I'm going to show my PT my x-rays this Wed., and discuss with them what they think it could be. Thank you again. Hope to hear more from you!

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Sorry, haven't been on in awhile. Twisted my pelvis in September at work and can't seem to get it to heal up. Doing physical therapy seem to help some but still in pain. Does anyone have any thought that could help. Hope that everyone had a merry Christmas.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 What kind of diet are you talking about? Angie Hampton <ahampton002@...> If you haven't changed your diet. Look into it. Your body will never heal properly unless you give it what it needs C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Hey Angie, Hope your holidays are going well. I just got a book at the bookstore all about it. There's also plenty of info on the web. Vegetables and fruits. They do wonders. A little research and you might find some relief for yourself. You are what you eat as they say.
