Pelvic Pain Connected To Back Pain After Car Crash

by andrea
(LOS ANGELES, CA)

I was in a car accident one month and a half ago but started having pelvic hip pain and lower back pain.

Is this connected with my car accident is it possible for back pain to affect the pelvic area??

I had a pelvic manual exam and the gp said its not my reproductive organs I'm very concerned....

Thank you

Hi Andrea.

I don't know whether it's connected to the car accident, but depending on what the crash looked like, it wouldn't be surprising.

The pelvis is connected to the spine and sacrum.

For instance, if you were standing on the brakes with one leg pushing forward, the other leg tense but pulling backwards, and then there was an impact, you can essentially knock one or both sides of your pelvis out of alignment from themselves as well as from the sacrum, spinal alignment, etc. This can mess up muscle balance as well.

You could have ligament injury, and or gotten Whiplash and/or Tendonitis.

It's ALL connected.

1. Describe your pain and symptoms.

2. Describe the accident.

3. Describe how you felt during and after the accident, up to now.

4. What health care professionals have you seen since then?

I had a car accident six weeks post partem that was sixteen months ago now. my pelvis completly displaced. I have phsyio every two weeks and im still in a lot of pain. reading joshua's comment about how it could have occured during the accident was a great help.

my foot was on the clutch peddle as the car was in first gear ready for take off and suddenly i was hit from behind now i know why it happened thanks. how long will i be in pain for i wish i knew

Hey Davina.

It's predictable that you'll be in pain a long, long time. That kind of injury doesn't just go back to normal/pre-accident status all by itself.

EVERYTHING rides on the pelvis, from all directions.

Plus if your ligaments were still loose from the Relaxin from pregnancy......

I'd like to say PT can fix you, but....I'm not confident.

You may want to try out the The ARPwave System. You'll get a free no cost treatment at home to help you decide. Essentially, it will reset how muscles are holding your injured pelvis and it will make the nervous system from chronically panicking and defensive to normal.

If you want a hope for a fix, that's it. The link will give you a sense of what it's capable of.

car crash and lasting back and hip and pelvis pain and problem
by: EJM

I was in a car crash just over a year ago, my car was hit front on by a car on the wrong side of the road.

I was driving but was told i was fine, however since then I have problems with my pelvis, hips and lower back. Docter told me it would heal in time and it was simply muscle strain, however, it has got worse and is affecting my way of life.
I had to cut back on my work hours, I'm now back at Uni and missing classes as it is to painful to walk any distance, I have had to give up horse riding, and dancing.

Hi EJM.

Basically, the trauma of the car crash literally threw your body out of whack. Muscle strain, etc.

Everybody including the doctor hopes it would just heal. The problem is, you end up with 'electrical disruption', such that the nervous system literally can't fire muscles correctly.

So some muscles aren't firing optimally, so they can't hold or support your pelvis and hips and back correctly, which equals the dynamic of chronic pain that you describe.

In your case, my top recommendation is The ARPwave System. It's like an electrician going to your houses electrical box and making everything work correctly.

Check out that page, then contact me as described if you're interested.

Otherwise, your only real options are:
Magnesium for Tendonitis
Mindful Yoga
A REALLY good Physical Therapist, Massage Therapist, or a variety of other specialized physical practitioners (Hanna Somatics, Feldenkrais, etc)

numb lower right side of back
by: Paul

I was'nt in a car accident it was a skiing accident i fell at speed over some rocks and caught one on my lower right side of my back it has been a couple of weeks now and i get pain when i walk down hill its like an itchy sharp pain and i still have some numbing around the point of impact. would love to know your thoughts thanks Paul.

Joshua Comments:

Hey Paul.

The first thing that comes to mind is that either A. you have a vertebrae(s) (or other joint structure) knocked out of place and it's causing neurological disturbance and/or
B. muscles are locked so tight in a 'guarding' mode that it's pinching off nerve flow.

Why specifically when going downhill? Likely because that requires certain muscles to fire, which compresses muscle/joint.

radicalopathy after car accident rear ended by tractor trailor
by: Anonymous

I was I. A car accident rerearended by tractor trailor at higg speeds 6 months ago doctor did mri of left hip lumbar cervical showed herniation of l4 l5 c3 c4 c5.

Hip show crondal effect and fluid in left hip. They want to do different type of mri. Anyway Dr doesn't think radiculopathy is coming from l4.

However a recent emg was positive for bilateral radiculopathy in a l5 si pattern. I have fullness on the left pelvic griddle and right and above it. I. Feel something loose uneven...pain is horrible. It hurts when I lean left and apply pressure on left leg...pain. radiates to feet.

Doomed?

Triggerpoints medicine pt... it helped neck pain and virtigo but not lowerback hip..oh clicks when walk. My guess is need a pelvis mri.

Hi Anonymous.

I'm sorry to hear that. That's some major impact to the body.

Unfortunately, aside from a few suggestions, you're outside the realm of what I can deal with.

1. Definitely Magnesium for Tendonitis. Your body REALLY needs Magnesium right not to help with A. stress (physical and mental) and B. muscle tightness/muscle function.

2. The ONLY thing I can see for you that falls within the realm of a 'fix', is The ARPwave System. It's definitely going to cost some money, it requires your time and attention, but I can promise you that the only thing that is going to make a drastic difference/benefit for you is working with an ARPwave unit.

It will be somewhat intense, but it's crazy effective. Fixed my L5-S1 ruptured disc.

I hate to say it, but without the ARPwave, yes, kind of doomed. Maybe after surgery/fusions and years down the line things will get better...I certainly can't say from here. But it sounds like your body has taken some major trauma. And that sets up some downward spirals and chronic pain mechanisms in the body, and it's common for those to last a long, long time if not forever.

You now have a pretty big/significant injury dynamic to deal with. I would absolutely try the ARPwave before I considered sugery/spinal fusion/etc.

Follow the link, read the page to get a sense of what it is/what it does, and then fill out the form at the bottom if you want me to have ARPwave contact you and to ask questions of me. Though you can ask questions right here too.
