on ice

Sorry I have been such a whiner, but you must admit I am so good at it! I am officially on short-term disability for the next week or two until my back settles down. They say I have sacroiliac joint inflammation due to the relaxin hormone released during pregnancy. Basically, the joint between my left hip bone and my tailbone is really loose, inflamed, and painful.

Signs and Symptoms of SI Joint Pain

Women with sacroiliac joint problems describe a sharp, stabbing pain felt in the lower back or hip during weight bearing activities. It may feel like one leg suddenly "goes out" when walking and makes it impossible to go on without limping. CHECK!

Activities that cause sharp back pain include:

• climbing stairs CHECK!
• rolling over in bed CHECK!
• walking CHECK!
• getting up from a sitting position CHECK!
• sitting down from a standing position CHECK!
• jogging or running (even for just a few seconds,) N/A
• getting into and out of the car CHECK!
