Dear Esther,
Hi. I have now had 2 cortisone shots in this area. My M.D./acupunturist told me the 1st one was for a pinched bursa probably caused by poor positioning of the pelvis. The 2nd one was in an area that indicated I was now sitting correctly! Even though the very intense pain has subsided, there still is pain (5/10 when most intense). You mentioned at class that one reason for my pain is that I don't have enough 'cushion'. Is this something I increase through your work? Certainly I know your approach to body mechanics will be very beneficial to me. Also have you heard of prolotherapy? What do you think of it?
Thanks.
Barbara

As for prolotherapy, I've heard good and bad stories about results people had from it. I can't give you a very informed judgment on this intervention. In general, I prefer for people to exhaust their simple options before going to fancier ones.
