Iliac crest muscle strain?

Question

i went to the doctor due to a pain in my hip. He told me i strained my iliac crest. Did he mean to say i strained a muscle attached to my iliac crest? i didn't know i could strain a bone

Answer 1

I have this condition, I wish it on noone. It is very debillitating and can certainly put you in a very grumpy mood. I found icing and heating benifiial. When things improved a little. I used a tennis ball to gently massage the sore tendons. Perserverence is a must with this condition. Dont lose hope that it will repair but you must have patience. Gentle butt excercises are also helpful. I found the chiro very helpful in my case. Als pain killers need some anti inflamatory agent in themn.

Good luck with it
