While I was in physical therapy, end of last year, my therapist told me that she thought my coccyx and sacrum were straightening out making my lower back straigthen out, hips unaligned. What does that mean? What is that called?
A pain management tech told me that I also have facet syndrome, I guess I asked him the right question because everyone else has been telling me that my xray's and mri scan from last year of my lumbar spine are normal,(still waiting on my results from a recent mri of my lumbar spine and pelvis).
I have been in physical therapy and failed numerous times, and I've seen a chiropractor in AK who told me to, "Just cancel all the appts made and not go back." Since adjustments only helped for less then a day. I will be getting RA testing in the next few days.
But other then being told I have facet syndrome, per se failing: P/T, chiropratic care, and massage therapy, I am not getting any real answers.
I do know that I have a lumberized S1, shooting pains down legs, sometimes numbness and "falling asleep" in my legs (more then right side then the left), sudden sharp intense pain in my right SI joint/hip area that causes me to fall while standing, sometimes if the pain is really bad I can't walk unless assisted (after the pain level has decreased), if I stand my right shoulder is lower then my left and my hips are not aligned, when I sit I can feel I am sitting on my tailbone. I am in pain managment, orthopedic care (recently), and seeing my PCM regularly. Reading before, I was in physical therapy. Had phsyical therapy off and on since 1999. And seen a chiropractor last year. So I am getting help, just not answers or a diagnosis (...yet).
