And I was concerned about another compression fracture. She thinks it is SI joint dysfunction. I had been using a stepper exercise machine daily and it has aggravated those joints evidently. I stopped using stepper when pain started. I used ibuprofen and that helped immensely but I can’t stay on that due to kidneys. Anyone else had issues with SI joint dysfunction?

Members connected over the shared struggle of SI joint dysfunction and back pain, with many dealing with compression fractures, osteoporosis, and multiple surgeries. Several members shared helpful strategies, including visiting a chiropractor who also offers medical massage, and noting that ibuprofen can bring relief but may not be safe for everyone long-term. A recurring theme was the importance of finding humor and community support when navigating serious, ongoing pain, with members even joking about forming a back pain club together.

I thought about trying a chiropractor. Just have to be careful since my bones are fragile with osteoporosis. Going to switch to Forteo for that. It’s supposed to build bone and perhaps help with existing pain from old compression fracture. 🙏🏻
