When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

Hi JJ,
Go very easy and slowly with the postural changes and especially the exercises. The chair exercises especially take a lot of strength to maintain the lumbar curve and therefore deflect pressure away from the pelvic diaphragm. Skip those if they seem particularly difficult to do. Pain from the sacroiliac joint often mimicks sciatica, and it's not unlikely that is the source of your discomfort. Rest when you need to, but slowly and carefully try to hold your body in this new way. Regular massage therapy may be in order as well.

hi
hi
i noticed you're post about sciatica as i just recently learned which acupuncture points to use for that. The teacher said it is really effective and he had a client who came in and he could not see her face she was so bent over with sciatica pain
after one treatment she could stand straight again and the pain was gone. Not all will respond so quickly i don't imagaine. But when we practiced on each other one lady in the class said she loved it as even ten minutes of practice needling was hleping her.
alternatively if you dislike needles, shiatsu (acupressure) will help by firmly massaging the same points.
Anyway just a thought.
best wishes

sciatic nerve
I have bladder prolapse and also have pain from what I thought was my sciatic nerve.
How do I know if it is the sacroiliac joint instead of the sciatic nerve?

SI pain vs sciatica
In my experience, SI pain is more localized to the joint and feels a bit deeper. sciatica was a radiating pain in the back of my hip/leg.
but they both hurt something awful.

SIJD
SIJ pain is because other SIJ is dislocated. Dislocation means anteriorly rotated innominate. That is SIJD.
SIJD is the cause of tight piriformis ie. piriformis syndrome.
SIJD is the cause of ischias.
SIJD is the cause of low back pains during preagnancy.
SIJD causes short leg.
When other SIJ is dislocated it causes misalignment in pelvis. That causes muscle tightness and wear and tear in spine, like prolapsy and many other problems like scoliosis and lordosis.
SIJD is very common disorder, but medical world does not believe it exists, because the doctors think it is impossible for SIJ to dislocate.
I had it at least 25 years since I was a child. Last 15 years I had bad back pain, leg weakness and numbness, headaches and many many other nasty symptoms. Not any more...
I met over 20 doctors until I found one who understod it and corrected it from me. After that I have been telling my doctors about my diagnose and treatment and they just laugh to me because they think my diagnose is bullshit...

Sciatic nerve
I experienced severe pain until I started walking. My walk includes an incline. After two days the pain went away. I don't know if it will work for you but it sure took care of it for me. I've been told my prolapse is in stage 4 and I'm compelled to do all I can to avoid surgery. So for me, right now a 2 mile hike is helping.

I read the article that you have in your post. What did your doctor propose you do? I have the same problem. I have been going to a chiropractor. It was working in the beginning, but now it doesn't work at all.
