osteoarthritis of pubic symphysis

The joint where the pubic bones meet is called the pubic symphysis, which is made of cartilage. When it and the surrounding muscles become inflamed due to stress on the joint, the result is osteitis pubis.

I had a recent X-ray of both hips and pelvis. Ist said I had degenerative change of the pubic symphysis. and a malalignment of ps. I understand that part. 2nd. Old posttraumatic fragmentation at the left greater trochanter with cortical whiskering of the right greater trochanter superiorly. Scattered degenerative changes of both greater trochanters. I don't understand that. Does fragmentation mean pieces broken off? What about cortical whiskering?

It's probably Pubic symphysis..

{{Mild degenerative arthritic changes of the SI joints and pubic symphysis. Tiny benign appearing cyst of the left inferior pubic ramus. Radiographically normal bilateral hips.}} The "benign appearing cyst" concerns me. When my primary care physician's office called with the results of the x-rays, no mention was made of the cyst. The way I found out about it was that I asked them to send me copies of the x-ray reports. What are "SI joints"?

Oh yeah I forgot to say I also had the whole sit bone pain problem as well. Can't sit down on anything like the floor or a wooden chair for more than 10 minutes without the pain kicking in and numbness. I'm seeing a neuromuscular therapist. I have very tight hamstrings that can be the cause of the sit bone pain problem. They are pulling on the ischial tuberosity bones making things very uncomfortable on me. It's either that or loose ligaments in your (posterior) pelvic floor area .

Real-time grayscale ultrasound imaging was performed of the left lower quadrant near the pubic symphysis on 8/1/2019. COMPARISON: CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis on 12/17/2018. FINDINGS: There is a subcutaneous hypoechoic lobulated mass with mild internal heterogeneity without calcifications and mild internal vascularity to the left of midline near the pubic symphysis that measures 3.6 x 1.4 x 2.7 cm. This does not have a normal fatty hilum of a lymph node.

I had this same thing!! Please, if you can, go see a chiropractor. Ask him/her to check your "pubic symphysis". It's the joint at the front of your pelvis, and during pregnancy it is normal for it to come apart a little, but with mine I couldn't walk at all, it hurt SO bad. My chiropractor said it was the worst case of pubic symphysis dislocation that he'd seen in a pregnant woman, and an adjustment fixed it.

t bend over until I move around for awhile. I was told my pubic symphysis is fusing itself together, so not allowing it to move freely like it should. I have a bulging disc at L4-5, as well as spinal stenosis. I can't walk very far without pain. Actually my whole spine has lots of degenerative osteo-arthritis, as well as degenerative disc disease. Anyone have any ideas what I can do to live with this? I have to work for a living, being a 62 year old widow.

There are many causes of pubic symphysis pain. Significant pubic pain is usually caused by the pelvic girdle area not working they way it should. One problem can be because the of the misalignment of the pelvis. It can also be related to sacro-Iliac joint (SIJ) issues. My SIJ's are dysfunctional and I sometimes I experience pubic symphysis pain. I am not pregnant either. There are other causes and I encourage you to see your PCP. A D.

Then I read that if the mother is mishandled during birth that the pubic symphysis can separate even more or be permanantely damaged. What?! Does anyone suffer from this? Has anyone had this and after delivery went back to normal? Thanks for any help!!!! Oh yeah, I am 27 weeks today.

This causes pain from his head sitting on pubic bone. My tailbone pops when getting out of bed and when I sit at toilet for 1st morning urine (TMI). I also did a self diagnosis and think I have Symphysis pubic dysfunction SPD...read up on that!

Sclerosis is again hardening of the pubic symphysis a part of it or complete due to chronic inflammation due to mechanical, injury or tumor related. See a related post: http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Orthopedics/bone-spur-and-sclerosis-of-pubic-symphysis/show/1049730 Percocet (oxycodone with paracetamol/acetaminophen) tablets can be continued to relieve the pain.

Osteitis pubis, is characterised by inflammation of the pubic symphysis, which is the joint at the front of the pelvis between the two ends of the pubic bone. This inflammation leads to sclerosis and bony changes of the pubis symphysis, causing both acute and chronic groin pain. The condition can render sufferers incapable of sustained physical activity. There is no specific treatment for the condition.

It could also be separated symphysis..I had it with my first pregnancy! Before birth its most likly a miss alignment of the pubic bone, after birth its a separation of the pubic bone..ask ur doctor to check it for you..and yes its painful! ! Feels like your getting stabbed when u try to walk!! You can try going to a chiropractor that works with pregnant women it could help re align your pelvis and relieve pain or try soaking in the tub !

Have you ever had trauma to that area? The 'pubic symphysis' consists of strong connective tissue that relaxes during pregnancy; I don't know a great deal about that type of pain, and so I am going to refer you to the reference on Wikipedia, which has some good information: http://en.wikipedia.

Wow...

She said that it will likely get worse and to take tylenol and use ice for pain and not to worry. My question is..is it pubic symphysis dysfunction or something that we are all experiencing? She didn't say and didn't seem too concerned, but none of my relatives or friends have had this type of pain..especially this early.

To me it feels more like the muscles over my pubic bone that are causing pain. Google Pubic symphysis dysfunction. See if any of its symptoms sounds like what you're going through. It definitely sounds like me so I'm bringing it up at my next appointment. I thought my pains were just bc I'm older with this pregnancy but I read about it on here and looked it up and think it's at least worth mentioning to my doctor.

but when i look up the feelings i have it says its (spd) symphysis pubic dysfunction

Yeah it's called pubic symphysis disorder. I have it. It's where the ligaments holding your pubic bone in place stretches to thin before delivery and occasionally your pelvis will pop out or kinda fold. It's very painful sometimes. Try getting a tummy waist band for your hips and to hold your stomach up off your pelvic area some. It helps but it doesn't really resolve until after delivery.

Symphysis pubis dysfunction. I've put it on a ton of threads today. Mainly because i have never heard of it until my dr. Told me about it at 31 weeks. Google says extremely common. And exactly feels like the kicked in the pubic bone!

I've had SPD (symphysis pubic dysfunction) since about week 24, Dr suggested a girdle/belt that's helped a lot. They can also refer you to a physical therapist to help relieve the pain. I found my belt on Amazon and never needed PT so I definitely recommend it!
