There's A Strange Click-Clack In The Back Of My Sacroiliac!

I should have posted this a month or so ago. I have NO clue how I did this to myself. But, apparently, I hurt myself waaaaaay down on my lower back. The pain had been going on for years, off and on and aggravated by my periods. It was bearable, but one weekend, it became not so bearable. I finally got tired of the pain in my ass. That feeling of being skewered with a hot poker from back to front. I thought it might have been an ovarian cyst or maybe my appendix was rotting away. I was, thankfully, wrong. After a quick visit to the local minor emergency clinic, I was referred to physical therapy. The first therapist I saw was convinced it was my SI causing all that pain. After a few short tests, she put me on the table, twisted me and I heard a big POP! OH MY FUCKING GOD that felt REALLY good! I got a second opinion from another therapist at that clinic. He agreed it was my SI. So, after a month of going to physical therapy twice a week, I am almost pain free. Next step is to get a new bed. My old queen size double pillow top mattress is not doing me any favors.
