Perhaps you know this? - A good chiro (middle aged is the best of both worlds) can tell if your SI joint is out of wack by strength testing your ability to lift individual legs and the chiros resistance against it. I forget, this might be none on your belly and back. Plus they can feel the ligaments in position while face down. The younger ones are not as in-tune to this- it takes experience.
Any of the upper thigh muscles and tendons can pull the SI out of place, pinching nerves and sending pain and dysfunction all along the way to your toes. I recently found some deep small tight trigger points in in inner thieghs and several of the quad muscles. Releasing these then released some tension in my hip sockets themselves! This just shows how where you feel pain is not always the same location as the cause.
Fascia literally ties it all together as its not just on the surface of muscle- its intertwined webbing- the white stuff in animal meat is fat AND fascia.
Plus these infections seem to harden tendons- there's literature on this. I broken some of this stuff up very carefully again, with pressure.
Its really challenging as to where to start when your whole body stiffens up.
***Start with the core, but understand core dysfunction might be traced to another location pulling on the core.****But if you know your body that is a HUGE big step to figure this out.
A chiro can adjust the SI into place, but a good and honest one might/should help you figure out what cause it to get pulled out in the first place. This will take a while.
Its good to figure this out before it gets worse. The longer your body is crooked, the longer to straighten it out (my case) even after the infection is gone - and vice versa.
Once my SI loosened up, there was a time frame that it would move to easily and would move rolling over in bed! At that point I began strengthened my lower back muscles to stabilize the SI.
NOTE: Previous phy therapy mistakenly tried to strengthen my back while my SI was crooked. What a nightmare!!! Old PT theory does not believe SI's can go out of position- they are dead wrong in that thought.
