    Hi, not looking for medial confirmation but just advice if anyone knows what/who I should be contacting as I'm going demented from this.

    Had pelvic pain really badly during my last pregnancy, basically to the point where I was unable to walk. I'm a fit mid thirties and have ran most my life.
    Anyhow since giving birth with no issues in Labour, pain went away and all was back to normal.
    Then when I started running again, pain came back. So I stopped and did strength exercises specic to pelvic area for 6 weeks and got back running just to ten k with no pain.
    Anyhow while walking last week with my hubby on a weekend away, the pain randomly came back. So much so now, that I can barely walk. I have two small kids and to lift them is so difficult as can honestly barely walk. It comes and goes and this mornin I felt good so hopped up on treadmill for a SLOW SLOW walk as had no pain and within one minute had to get off.
    Anyone else ever get this? I'm not sure whether to see chiropractor, physio (AGAIN) or gp?
    I'm going to see some acupuncture guy next week that specializes in this area but not sure what is wrong? So worried I may never run again and have done permanent damage yet need to find out best way to get diagnosis?
    Any advice greatly appreciated if possible?

    Thanks

    We can't offer medical advice but whatever you end up doing it should be scientific and evidence based.

    Chiropractic and acupuncture are absolute wastes of money. At best they are placebos, at worst they can delay diagnosis/treatment by qualified professionals.

    You haven't said how long this has been going on exactly or who you have already seen, but as with anything the best approach is stepwise, and the best start is usually GP. If your GP and physio cannot help, the next step would be to see a gynaecologist.
