S1 Injury , recovery time ? not a med question

Seres

have developed a S1 joint injury which has caused me to curtail my running alot since sep , the problem arose when i increased my mileage to prepare for a half marathon , the S1 on my left side is stretched because of a weak core and left glute which causes my left hip to drop to much while running .
I have been working alot on strenghting my core and glutes while running a bit but the problem still hasnt resolved itself , im just wondering is there anyone here who has had a similar injury and how long did it take to clear up ? its been 2 months now which is a hell of a long time for a runner !

Have you been to an osteopath or chiropractor? If not, find a good one with experience treating athletes. I'd recommend Merrion sq osteopaths,01-6616143, teran synge there is brilliant and probably the best man in the country at treating the si joint, however he's 100 euro a pop and has a few-month waiting list but the others in there are good too. You're pissing against the wind if you haven;t had a few adjustments with this injury. Get the si joint aligned properly first, then hammer the rehab stuff to keep it that way. Good luck.

found Teran Synge actually made me worse...
