    I could have posted this myself, my situation is so similar.  I have been battling SI/Hip pain for about 6 months with little or no improvment.  Been through, Chiro, rolling, lacross ball, acupuncture, Deep tisue massage, MWod/Supple Leopard,  rest, but it always comes back after a few days of lower body movements that involve squatting position.  It is very prevelant in any sitting position.  I almost feel like giving up its so frustrating.  I crossfit roughly 4-5 times a week.  Almost all of the pain is in the muscle between the SI Joint area and my side/hip.  Not sure if I am explaining this correctly but the pain travels along an area from the SI Joint along the top of the Gluteus Maximus then down into the side/hip area.  It does not go deep down into my leg and the pain is like a constant deep burn, never a very sharp debilitating pain.  I am open to any additional ideas and would love to know more about how to self evaluate posture such as David is refering too. So if I hijacked this post but it seems like many people are in similar situations and I’m just looking for any help I can find.

    Thanks Chris for the quick response. 

    I do think there is some involment of the sciatic nerve in my issue but also think something more mechanical is causing it.  I really don’t recall a specific movment only that I started to slowly notice a dull pain in my SI joint area when sitting in my car which radiated into my upper glute. It gets worse after a heavier lifting day of any type of squats or wod with squatting movments in them for higher reps. 

    One thing that did to imflame the situtation is that I was doing some high volume rowing on a daily basis for a 3 month window this winter.  I have since backed off that completly but I’m afraid the damage has been done.

    The crazy thing is it doesnt really hurt durning the workout or while squatting but afterwords or the next day my entire right lower back/hip area tightens up like a vice and it really comes out when in a sitting position.  I have tried most of the mobility items you listed above but maybe I need to stick with one that I feel works the best on a more consisitant basis.  The nerve flossing with the lacross ball did seem to help more than some others.  I also am starting some agressive deep tissue massage with a PT in my hip/back/ham area tomorrow.  That is something I have not tried yet.  Basically, my glute feels like a bowling ball and nothing I do seems to get it to relax.  I would die for a 1 hour function movement session with one of Kelly’s co-workers or the man himself.  Maybe I need to figure out a way to plan a work trip out to California in the near future.  Stuck here in Central Illinois with not a lot of good PT or mobility professionals around.

    Again, thanks and I will try some of these out and let the board know how its going.
