Hi,

I have a patient, 70 years old.

He presents with pain which radiates from the calf upwards, stops at the popliteal fossa and then continues around the iliac crest especially at the iliac tuberosity.

the pain starts after approximately 7mins of brisk walking and discontinues if he applies pressure to the tuberosity using his elbow. Standing in one position brings about the same pain.

I tested for sacro-ilitis and test was postive.

Manipulation followed by support with K-tape..It helped with patients standing position but on brisk walking the pain came back again.

after physio, it gets better but not for the walking, I have had 4 sessions with initial improvement then it goes back to the normal ppain he had before.

Any suggestions would be very welcome
