Wasn't familiar with this, so googled, and found this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphysis_pubis_dysfunction

sounded similar?

anyway, reading it, i wonder if my problems in the pelvic region are not "just" SI inflammation? as some of these symptoms sound familiar.

anyway, it gave a list of things to avoid, if this is the problem you are having?

also, reading gave me the idea that PT might be useful. I went to a PT that specialized in women's issues especially down in that area.

they mentioned core strengthening and pelvic floor exercises? don't know if that would be useful.

i've found there are a number of movements i have to avoid, some that they mention. always assumed it was my SI, but who knows.

i've also found that when i flare in the pelvic area, lots of ice and rest and time, or a short course of steroids along with a lot fewer days of ice and rest.

maybe you'll find something useful in this. don't know, but thought worth a shot.
