Does anyone have any tips for mobilizing the SI joint? I finally got into a chiropractor after week 1/2 of lower back pain and she said I have a seized SI joint. She stretched me out and then said there was pretty much nothing you can do except ice it and see if it loosens up, follow up appt is Wednesday. Was just curious if anyone knows of any methods of stretching or exercises I can do to help. I'm only 21 and take pretty good care of myself so I find it concerning to be having back problems, thanks guys!

Hey, Logic. Not trying to frighten you at all. My symptoms were very similar to yours and I went nearly ten years before a doctor figured it out. Several chiropractors and physios completely missed it and tried all kinds of things that did not work. I really hope you don't have Ankylosing Spondylitis but talk to a doctor to rule it out. If it does turn out to be AS send me a private message and I can help you deal with any questions or concerns you have, and can point to others who can offer support. Please, please, please see a medical professional; CDC is no substitute for a qualified medical opinion.

Curmudgeon, with respect, it is was too early to be investigated for AS. Frankly, it would be a waste of health care resources at this point to get the blood work and xrays. His pain has only been around for 1.5 weeks. If it were months/years then that is a different conversation. I empathize with your story, 10 years is a long time to get a diagnosis. I wish you well
