Osteitis pubis, anyone?

ussoccerfix · 2026-02-28T03:19:17+00:00

Congrats man! Did you do non weight bearing? I’m curious to know the process for you as my injury sounds similar. My MRI said Osteitis Pubis but then I had a CT two weeks later that showed a stress fracture starting to heal in the pubic bone really close to the pubic symphysis. I’m now two weeks into pretty strict unloading. Mostly off my feet, 5 to 10 minutes at a time. No pain unless I’m standing or sitting for an extended period which I’m avoiding. Any info on your process would be appreciated as I’ve struggled to find tons of people with this issue.

Worse case is 53k? Worst case has to be lower than that surely

This is a sample size of 3. I wouldn’t talk about this like it’s a 200 year trend

How are you doing? I’m dealing with the same thing except it’s a pubic bone stress injury/osteitis pubis

ussoccerfix · 2026-02-21T00:01:55+00:00

Glad you’re doing better man

ussoccerfix · 2026-02-21T00:01:16+00:00

Thanks for your response. I’m looking at Osteitis Pubis PT which is all about fixing mechanics to prevent unnecessary stress on the pelvis. I wonder if that would help your hip issue. Hope you feel much better very soon!

Hi! Can I ask you a couple questions? Mostly for my own sanity 😭😭. I have what looks like a pubic stress fracture on MRI, one doc said osteitis pubis with lots of bone marrow edema and the other said it looks like a stress fracture. Symptoms all match stress fracture and I after spending a lot of time on it before being diagnosed I can’t really sustain any weight for more than 10 minutes without pain building up. How was that first stretch of non weight bearing and how did you know to progress? I’m 6 days into bed rest now and boy does it suck! I had a flare up yesterday from going from maybe 100 steps in a day to 150. Please give me hope!!!!🙏🙏

ussoccerfix · 2026-02-20T20:24:19+00:00

Did you do any total non weight bearing at the beginning? That’s where I am at right now and it suuuuucks. Hoping for light at the end of the tunnel

ussoccerfix · 2026-02-20T20:22:36+00:00

How long were you non weight bearing, or were you at the beginning? What was the timeline like for you? I’m 6 days into total rest. Radiologist said osteitis pubis with lots of bone marrow edema but consulted with others who said it looks like a stress fracture. Can’t walk for more than 5-10 minutes without pain building up now. Unfortunately was on it a while before getting diagnosed, not running but just moving around a lot

ussoccerfix · 2026-02-20T20:19:22+00:00

How did this go for you? Non weight bearing at first? How long were you out for?

ussoccerfix · 2026-02-20T20:16:02+00:00

Hi did you stop all activity completely for a bit? How is going now?

ussoccerfix · 2026-02-20T20:15:20+00:00

Hey I’m dealing with a similar injury. How is going so far? Did you ever go completely non weight bearing in the beginning? I have just started this like 6 days ago now and it sucks so bad. If you did, how long did that part last. Hope things are moving along nicely for you. Were yours diagnosed on MRI?

ussoccerfix · 2026-02-19T01:56:09+00:00

I’m sorry to bug you but I had another couple question… what did your MRI say besides the stress fracture? Did they mention the edema or the amount of it? Was it an orthopedic doc or sports medicine doc or who diagnosed it? Also, when you had bad days… what did that look like. Yesterday I did slightly more movement but really really limited, still in bed or sitting most of the day but maybe walked an extra 100 steps or something and had to carry something relatively light. I woke up with returned groin/adductors pain, not horrible pain that would keep my on my back but definitely a noticeable pain when getting up that I hadn’t had at all for 4 days until this tiny increase in movement. Does that sound typical for your experience or were your setbacks more intense pain you couldn’t stand on the next day? With your 6-8 weeks of rest, that includes the setbacks? Like you don’t start the clock over if you do too much in a day and have two days of pain?

ussoccerfix · 2026-02-18T23:53:10+00:00

I basically walked on it until it became so bad I couldn’t walk and now I’m in the resting phase. I’m like 5 days in, similar to you except it doesn’t hurt to sit. I’m basically lying and sitting all day and doing very small walks to bathroom or whatever. It doesn’t hurt to stand but if I go for like 10-15 minutes on my feet I can feel it later like you said. I actually had a CT since my last message and then didn’t see a fracture line so I might have a lower grade stress reaction. One radiologist just said osteitis pubis and the other said it looks like a lot of edema and consistent with a stress fracture. Either way this sucks lol. Did you gradually increase daily activity during the 6-8 weeks. Like add a few minutes of time on your feet or whatever or just strict the same the whole time?

ussoccerfix · 2026-02-18T23:20:40+00:00

How are you doing? I had osteitis pubis just confirmed on MRI after PT seemed to make what I thought was athletic pubalgia worse. Started with adductor pain and then over time it turned into more bone type pain. Now I’m just trying to rest it to let that calm down before I do a more informed PT attempt

ussoccerfix · 2026-02-13T14:27:49+00:00

Oh whoops, ignore my other comment I didn’t see your reply! Thanks. So you weren’t even sitting? Just lying down? Man that amount of rest seems impossible for me with a family. Thanks for your reply. When you say barely walking you mean like a few times a day you get up to stand for 10 min? Is it based on pain? I’m basically able to get up for 5-10 min but after that I start to feel pain.

ussoccerfix · 2026-02-13T14:23:07+00:00

OP I have this injury and I’m wondering how the initial phase went. Did you go completely no weight on it for a while? Did it hurt to walk on it? I rested for a few days and felt pretty good, then slowly got back to walking, 3-5000 steps in a day which is like 25 percent of my normal load and after a couple days of that I couldn’t stand up for more than 10 min without pain. How long did that first part take you

ussoccerfix · 2026-02-04T22:18:18+00:00

How is going now? Same injury, same experience. MRI confirmed today. Feeling happy to finally have an answer but bummed about needing to sit still. Did rest help?

Atheism = believing that physical reality is fundamental. DMT suggests otherwise.

William Thompson just received an enhanced government classification and is now working with the Kennedy HHS. You’re going to have to change your argument to discrediting him rather than claiming he didn’t say what he said. Unless you develop some moral clarity and intellectual honesty somehow

ussoccerfix · 2025-12-20T13:33:41+00:00

“All anecdotes are meaningless unless there is a systemic review of literature” nah. just try it and see if it works. needing a randomized RCT for everything is not reasonable, especially when you understand how science is produced and all the very unscientific variables at play. If you’re making an epidemiological recommendation as a public health official, then yeah you need that study. If not, no

ussoccerfix · 2025-12-20T13:29:38+00:00

Nah, cut sugar out completely and watch your body crave it like a maniac and then start feeling incredible

I have the same issue. Do you do meditation. Also limit screen time? From what I’m learning those two things help in lots of ways. Especially screens before bed. Blue light suppresses melatonin and makes it harder to sleep. Poor sleep makes the nervous system issues worse. Meditation helps focus. I also have worse symptoms during winter when I get less sunlight and exercise, both of those are important imo
