Thanks for the replies, This is definitely not spasmed muscle I feel and the disc bulge was considered minor and not interacting with nerves. The source of the pain is quite acute in a small area for one and feels directly related to that bony point/ligament. The muscles affected are not my gluteus maximus or rear thigh specifically either. It is high and bandlike on the hip right around from that point to the front/side, and down the side of the leg only, sometimes going into the outside of my knee. In saying that from someone who was used to being quite flexible (tae kwon do - lots of high kicking etc) my whole thighs and hips have become incredibly tight, the right more so. Oh and I'm 24, previously quite active in my daily life. I am pretty sure I've just found what it is though, the hard point and the resulting problem that is. I still would greatly appreciate help.

Imo the "bony point" that I can feel is the crest of my sacrum pressing against the lower RHS of the L5 spinous process. "Hold on" you say but hear me out, it was quite painful and inflammatory to do so but through alot of articulation and digging with my thumbs I am almost certain based on how it moves. The ligament does cause my muscle spasms and fluctuating debilitated state but this is the ligament directly stretched over or impinged on by the crested bit of the sacrum below and slightly to the right of L5. I am working away right now and cannot check but it is possible that the Wikipedia reference-linkMRI only went down as far as L5 and did not see this. As for the physio I've been seeing lately I had asked previously but had dismissed this as the case because I was told that I did not have a twisted pelvis!

By standing against a wall and looking at it when moving around it seems to be turned to the left. I am pretty fit and have decent core strength so maybe this has masked it. The pelvis feels like it has shifted sideways to the right and tilted right side higher than the left. I'm very excited but a little worried as I don't know how to treat this because its been twisted for over a year and a half. It also seems that it might be tilted vertically.

I know I'm writing too much so I'll stop here and try to clarify my plea.
What on earth do I do? I've attempted to straighten my posture. This has brought pain to my LEFT SI joint and basically started to mirror the pain I'm still getting but lessened in my right hip/buttock but yeah really quite sharply in the SI joint on occasion. It has triggered a memory too ( I have ADD and memories are often blanked out or vague) of a near bike accident...around a year and a half ago and I'd never considered it to be the problem because I have pain specifically in the lumbar spine.

What happened was the front of the bike slipped and I stamped my (left?) foot down at about 50km/hr. It was a wide stamp and there was alot of sideways force aswell as forwards and I remember feeling a pretty painful crunching jolt. I was sore for a while but I had a general ache (probably the bulging disc and I was taking codeine for it) at the time so this probably masked the transition.

I know its been idiotic of me to let it get to this point and ignore the problem but I'm realising now its here to stay and my whole back is being pulled on by the muscles running up either side of my spine, causing other problems (because my foundations are out of alignment?). I'm desperate to solve this naturally and get back to a state of fitness which at the moment has me borderline depressed but who do I see and is this kind of thing even fixable now. My muscles have been trained with my pelvis in this position. I've been manipulated with twisting that was going the wrong way due to misdiagnonis based on the RHS Wikipedia reference-linkfacet joint of L4 or L5 causing inflammation (proved wring by the MRI). I have probably stupidly applied alot of force both spontaneous and consistent to try and get it to come back to centre but it won't even budge.

Also probably unrelated but also badly sprained my ankle a year ago and started to use it differently to avoid a crunching sound which has -after healing- built up my left outer calf a bit more than the right..and ironically the right ankle is not as strong as the left now which doesn't crunch anymore incidentally.

I know its a bit of a ramble but honestly its a trait of ADD and I can't really express myself any other way lol so please just some advice on whether I can heal or even a bit of direction would be really really good.

Thanks again,

Jarrath.
