This happened to me. my good dr sent me for an xray and then physical therapy. The therapy has helped me to relieve the pain and adjust my posture by strengthening my muscles. Then several months on, it happened in my pelvis. The dr I went ordered an xray for the pelvis and found a lot of damage on it, but just advised Aleve.....no meds will take it away, I know that. Meds give you a break so that you can exercise. I asked her to write an order for physical therapy and changed doctors. I have been miffed at her ever since as I feel she held back advice to make more appointments with her! Physical therapy taught me to observe what I was doing wrong. It must be continued following your sessions to keep pain at bay. It does not change the problem but relieves you of constant pain. I don't go a day with out the shoulder/neck exercises and the leg and hip exercises. If I want a better day that is the way to insure it. I still continue with Aleve taken with food in my stomach.
