Hi alophysio,

Thanks for your reply! Indeed I am known to do whatever it takes to solve something....and don't understand people that don't when it comes to their health!

I also think the doctor meant weeks/months of healing, that's why I am questionning what's going on here.

1- I figured that my nervous system was responsible for the sensations. I am assuming nerves are affected from whatever condition I have.
2- Thanks for that. I forgot to mention that the last physio I saw, performed a lot of manual therapy on me and always worked on my diaphragm, but never looked further. So this is something to keep in mind for the next one.
3-As far as specific exercices, I had a bunch given from all different physio I have seen, they never really worked. I understand that with the weight training program I am is focusing on back and abs muscles, but also on overall body. I always give a chance to new exercices, its only a matter of finding them. Perhaps you might have something to suggest?
4-I did call Diane Lee's clinic for a referal. I also contacted the Federation of Physiocal Therapy of Canada to get more. I was lucky to find someone 15 minutes away from my house. He did his advanced manual therapy course as well as Diane's Lee course, just not sure which one in particular. I am going to see him on Sept. 22nd...I can't wait! I also talked to someone else that confirmed me that the physio I am going to see is very good for this kind of injury.

Thanks for your kind words they are very welcomed on my part.

Now my fingers are crossed!!!!

I will persist until I find the answer no matter what it takes. There is just no way I am living the rest of my life like this...just no way!

me again,

One thing I didn't mention before is my posture...its very bad. I am called a back hugger, I have a huge arch in my lower back and my tommy sticks out like crazy. I look pregnant (BUT I am not!). Strangers ask me if its going to be a boy or a girl. I can tell it is not fat, so I really wonder if it is muscles, ligaments or caused my the sacrum or something else.

I also can not tighten my stomach muscles, it just won't go in. It is important to mention that during my 2 years of training I had a 6 pack stomach.

My last physio worked on the muscles for that arch in the back, nothing was holding for more than a few hours. He disregarded the belly sticking out and only worked on my diaphragm saying that I needed to relearn to tommy breathe instead of breathing from the chest. I try to make him understand that I was chest breathing because the tommy breathing took so much energy since everything was stuck down there. I had to sit down and really think about it, it wasn't a stress response or anything like that. I was so short of breath from everything being stuck that my body naturally managed to breathe from the chest.

My walk is weird too from my right si joint. I feel my right leg being shorter (no one was able to see if it really was shorter or just felt shorter). My shoes wear differently too, my right heel wears a lot more than the left one. On the elliptical machine in the gym I notice my righ foot rotating inwards. I must concentrate to correct it. I really don't know what that means.

Any suggestion?

Thanks
