I've been suffering with SI joint pain for sometime now, with numbness and pain in my leg (for 6 weeks). I had X-rays and an MRI which didn't reveal anything more than slight swelling in my SI joints. My orthopedic doctor gave me some medicine to reduce the swelling and prescribed physical therapy.
Therapy isn't helping much, nor did the medicine. I have another appointment with my ortho. doctor who I suspect will be recommending injections to reduce swelling/pain.
So with all that being said, I'm about ready to give up on traditional medicine...and try something else or just suck it up and hope it gets better.
Anyone had similar experiences or any suggestions?

The 1st thing you need is a correct diagnosis, the symptoms that you have are no related with a SI joint problem. They seem to be a sciatic problem. ( The MRI report is not conclusive; physical exam is the most important diagnostic method here).
If your definitive diagnosis is a SI swelling, the best option at this point is local shots with steroids and anesthetics.
Another important thing: Stop sports and long walks, your joints need some rest.
I'm sorry I do not believe in alternative medicine here.

Have you tried aspirin? A lot of people think that aceteminophin (tylenol) and ibprofen is better that aspirin, and while ibprofen is good, nothing beats aspirin. I take it in Alkaseltzer form, it is faster than any gel tab. Also, listening to some smooth music like Chuck Mangione's album "Feels So Good" is a good idea. I do not know if it will stop the pain, but Chuck's music cool and relaxing, and sometimes that can make you forget about the pain.

I can probably help you with the SI joint pain. What you are describing is sciatica though. SI joint pain is usually caused by the hip being misaligned. Most of the times the pubic bone has gone in an inferior direction. If you get adjusted it should relieve the pain quickly. I don't use the manual snapping, popping or cracking chiropractic. I use an instrument which gently puts the bone back into place. Send me an email to chirodr@verizon.net if you are interested in getting better.

A male with an SI problem? Might be time to follow up with a rheumatologist to rule out ankylosing spondylitis. You might be sent for a bone scan...
If this is the case, you can talk to the PT about a TENS unit for long term use.
Other alternative therapies include "cranio-sacral" and accupuncture...I don't do this myself, so I can't tell you more about it's effectivness.

Take MSM and make sure that its in the purest form ex. 99.9% pure, and vitamin C. Get it at your health store. Increase the MSM amount until the pain is gone and the slowly cut back every to find the break even point of your pain level. Start at 3,000 Mg's three times a day. MSM is safer than water. Its sulfur, an element we lack in our diets and our bodies need. Used for pain relief, arthritis, and builds collagen. I know some people that needed up to 20-30,000Mg's/day to get pain relief. Start vitamin C, 2,000Mg's a day and increase daily until poop is loose and cut back until your bowel movements are normal. Get off the toxic pain relievers and meds when you feel ok. It worked for me.
