getting relief on your own.
How People Describe This Pain Pattern
Patients trace their fingers up and down the side of their hip and complain of constant pain. In addition, they might have some have nervy” pain on the inside of their thigh or the “bone that they sit on.” The sensation at the “sits” bone tends to be more painful than “nervy.”
When this is from childbirth, it tends to be on both sides, but not always. When this is from cycling or other exercises, it tends to be only on one side.
Some have sought relief through physical therapy. Some have been told to “wait it out,” it’s just part of recovering from pregnancy. You can get relief from it through self-care activities or bodywork.
At times, patients complain of changes in their urinary activity. They may get burning, itching, or even, shooting pains around their bladder.
How You Activate and Intensify This Pain Pattern
This doesn’t just happen with childbirth or cycling. It also occurs in people that have pelvic trauma from a fall or accident. I’ve had some cyclists with this problem as well. They usually have had their prostate checked to see if that is the culprit.
Jerky pelvic movements, like hopping across boulders, walking on sand dunes, or amusement park rides can also aggravate this.
