I have a sacroiliac joint problem that sounds just like yours. The SI is the joint that connects your hip bone to your spine. They are located to the right and left of your tailbone. It's basically a nonmoving joint, but it can slip, which is what happened to mine. I struggled with it for years. It's incredibly painful to walk, sleep, stand, anything. Fortunately, my orthopedist suggested a physical therapist who specializes in SI joint realignment. He fixed the problem in three visits - no kidding and no heavy drugs! I was convinced I was going to have to have hip replacement or something, but just three visits did the trick. Now I'm just sick for how long I let it go on without going to the doctor. Find a good ortho dr. and mention the sacroiliac joint. It could be the best thing you ever do for yourself.
