(there may be a case there for you - its worth speaking to someone about it) I only wish I were nearer to have a look at you and see what I could do!

My job does not come with health insurance unfortunately. After an accident on my bike during pregnancy mypelvis and back was knocked out of alignment this caused me to be in and out of hospital but the hospital didn't pick up on the PSD or my mis-aligned pelvis. When I gave birth to my baby the labour was particularly painful and not in a very good position for someone with PSD. I later learned that I should havehad a c-section, and there are cetain ways to have the baby if you have PSD. After physio hadn't worked it came to light about my mis-aligned pelvis and i was told that the physio would never have worked in the first place.:( The nearest city to me is Elgin in Scotland.

One other suggestion - do you have private healthcare with your job? A good osteopath will be able to treat you through the private scheme and although you may have to search pretty hard - there are also some PT's who will be able to bill through private healthcare too (I used to when I worked at a spinal rehabilitation centre in Bristol). If you let me know which city/towyou are in I may be able to reccomend someone for you.

I will however take your advice on my diet. My other concern is the long term effects that my painkillers are having on me as I am on co-codamol, diclofenac sodium and tramadol 4 times a day. I know that this is not good but i rely on them heavily. Thank you so much for replying it is good to know that i am not on my own. Thanks again. :) Yes i’m afraid it is NHS that is working with me and due to financial restrictions I can’t improve on that situation. I will however take your advice on my diet.

Not the answer you were looking for I know. I guess my first question would be are you in the UK and is your physio NHS? Because in this case I would suspect that you are not being given the full range of treatment available, simply beacuse it is NHS funded. A private osteopath working with a specialist personal trainer would be a lot more effective in treating your condition. Personally, if you came to me as a potential client I would be working very closely with your osetopath/physio to progressively increase your range of pain free movement through realignment of your pelvis and strengthening the supporting structures with specific resistance and manual therapy work. (But if your physio is good I expect you are already doing this?) I would also be looking at your diet as toxin buildup in pelvic ligaments can severely inflame tissues, adding load to your problem. I would restrict all wheat and dairy from your diet and increase magnesium and calcium through supplementation and increasing leafy green veg, nuts, beans and fish. (however these strategies work hand in hand and you won't see improvement without implementing both). I'm sorry I can't be more help :( Hi Kazs,

I actually saw a woman this week that is a personal trainer and pilates instructor that had this issue during her pregnancy. She has since been to many practitioners and still having residual issues. A bit of the right information goes a long way- good stuff. Jacqueline Nisha, great post and right back at you so timely.
