What is the best alternative medicine for relieving SI joint pain?

Gaga Warlock asked:


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?

I am a patient of osteonecrosis. I am an Ethiopian. The treatment is not available in Ethiopia. I can not get any treatment even which prevents from further damaging of the femoral head. I am suffering with severe pain. I highly need the alternative medication.
I am an Ethiopian. Due to economical status, I can not go to replace the necrosed head of the femur by a metal.Do you have another alternate?

If you don’t believe in alternative medicine, why are you responding on this board?

I have looked at many questions and almost every one of them has people responding that are against whatever the person is doing. Even telling them they are chasing the latest snake oil or there is no such thing as a cure for … Get real people there are cures for everything! The US government suppresses them because the drug companies would all be out of business. The politicians own stock in the drug companies. They don’t make any money if you are not sick! Animals in the WILD don’t get sick, have heartattacks, etc. They also don’t consume drugs. The board is for alternative medicine. Be helpful or get out! Don’t come in here dissagreeing with us about things you are not educated with.
