You’re a doctor so maybe you can give me some feedback on this.
I have been reading stuff to try and figure out what the problem really is, I came across something on sacroiliitis:
Sacroiliitis Symptoms
The most common symptoms of sacroiliitis include some combination of the following:
- Fever
- Pain, usually low back pain, leg pain (may be in the front of the thigh), hip pain, and/or buttock pain
- Pain that is worse when sitting for a long time, and worse when rolling over in bed
- Stiffness felt in the hips and low back, especially after getting out of bed in the morning or after sitting still for a prolonged period.
Except for the fever, those are my symptoms exactly. The absolute worst thing is getting out of bed in the morning, it seems like my muscles are too relaxed and once I put pressure on my left SI joint then my hip flexors and who knows what else tighten up. It feels terrible but once I’m on my feet for about 5 minutes it calms down and I just feel a bit stiff. It was worse before, but right now it seems like half the problem is just anticipating the pain, I expect certain things to hurt at this point.
So I’m thinking I must have irritated my SI joints more than they could tolerate in that one squat workout, and then once it was already better I aggravated it again by trying to deadlift. Hopefully it will calm down on its own. I don’t think I have any sort of SI dysfunction because it didn’t bother me at all until that one day, and it seemed to me that both sides were irritated but the left was worse, possibly due to my previous injury.
I just went for a walk and now I feel OK, I don’t want to bend over if I don’t need to but nothing hurts. My abs are sore, and my obliques are even more sore, what I was saying about bracing like crazy when I squatted yesterday is no joke.
