Yipee. Four Months (Almost) No Pain!

I went from distraught and doing really poorly to having an extended period of little pain in my sacrum and down my right leg (yes, still can't have sex). I felt like I really was healing finally. What helped? A few possibilities:

1. It coincided with me going up on my anti-depressant; or
2. I got new sacrum stabilization exercises from my physical therapist; or
3. I saw my rheumatologist who commented that I had trochanter bursitis and gave me some suggestions for self-treating. I looked it up and you can have a number of bursa located throughout your pelvic area due to poor mechanics in your pelvis or hip attachments. She stuck her finger into the area of a bursitis and, wow, it hurt for a few days thereafter.
