Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD)

That is a good suggestion Anne, I will take a look around for a
beginner pilates class. I have never tried it before, but I am up to
anything that will help alleviate the pain/discomfort that comes in
tow with SPD. Hopfully my back will cooperate with me, I am finding
that I get an extreme amount of pain in my lower left back with
certain movements... I can't even lift my left leg in the shower
anymore to shave... luckily I can still bend over enough to get the
job done, though the same pain is creeping in with that position as
well. Hmm, almost time to trust hubby with the razor again, lol.

Hmm, if you've got asymmetric pain in the back I'd think there would be
a high chance you've got a pelvic misalignment, and the movement of the
sacroiliac joints has become uneven. The things you can do yourself to
realign this tend to involve significant asymmetric leg movement, so I'd
recommend a chiropracter or physical therapist that is happy performing
some level of manipulation/mobilisation, the good thing is pilates
exercises can help with keeping this aligned or realigning more minor
misalignments.
Cheers

Interesting... well I'll mention this to my doctor at the next visit
and ask for a referral (at least that way my insurance will cover it).
I would never have thought of it as anything more than normal SPD
discomfort. Thanks for the info.
