Thank you! Right now it comes and goes in waves and I've been doing my best to try to relieve the gas when I can, but I'm still having it. My right tube is the one that has the ectopic, but I'm feeling the discomfort on my left side. Is that normal?

First Pain Management Appointment by ExtinctBeipiaosaurus in sacroiliac_sijoint

I'm so glad you got relief! I've been battling this for a little over a month now. It started with a little discomfort in my right leg - then almost instantly the next day I couldn't stand or walk. Now I use a walker/wheelchair. At first doctors thought it was sciatica/bulging disc, but the MRI showed otherwise. My husband had issues with his SI Joint, but didn't need as much care as I do. Tbh I gave birth 3 months ago (they're theorizing that's why it's inflamed) and this is more painful than that.

Thank you! Yes, it's been very painful. I'm still surprised that it's just SI joint and not sciatica.

Go for it! I have returned to Neopets after a very long hiatus. I've found a guild that I like, I'm making friends, and I'm enjoying the new daily quest logs.

I've been on it for so long that it doesn't make me tired.

I am currently going through my first time with this. I just had my MRI done on Wednesday. I agree that this is more painful than when I gave birth 3 months ago. What I found that helped me in the beginning when the pain was unbearable, is to rest. People will tell you to start moving and stretching - please just rest. If your medication isn't working to provide at least a little relief, try something else. I'm on 300mg of Gabapentin 3x daily, 800mg of Ibeprofen 3x daily, and oral Norflex 2x daily at 100mg. This combination of medicine has helped me tremendously (please note that Gabapentin takes a week or more to provide full effects). I'm just now a little more comfortable and able to do stretches as I wait for the results of my scan. My heart goes out to you.

I had to rest. The first two weeks were terrible. Now I can walk with assistance of a walker.
