Need Treatment For Pelvic Girdle Pain.

I had pelvic girdle pain for the duration of my first pregnancy which subsided quickly after birth, but returned quickly in my second pregnancy (miscarriage). 18 months on I still have a popping, clicking and grinding from my SI (left) area, which worsens during menstruation, climbing stairs, and lying down. I have attended physiotherapy who have assured that my joints are aligned. Should I see an orthopaedic surgeon for an mri?

Hi...

The pain in your Si joint could be due to sacroillliatis is SI joint dysfunction...

If I were you then I would do lot of stability and strength exercises before taking next step.. As you told physio would have reduced your dysfunction helped the joint to reallign... but you need support of the muscle to get alignment in place and heal...

I would have done lot of core and glute stability and pelvic floor muscles strengthening...
Core strengthening can be initially started with Holding the table top position for 30 secs .. Hundreds...Dead bugs...side bridge hold...
Glute stability can include clamshell...Bridging...side leg lifts...step ups..


Hope this is helpful for you..
Kindly revert back in case you need further clarification...
