Ultramarathon runner here: I stress-fractured both pubic rami secondary to imbalance having not regained full flexibility in the ankle of the other leg after a broken ankle the previous year. I used crutches for a week, rested (no running, no cycling, minimal walking) for a further 5 weeks (I swam arms-only with a pull buoy to help my legs float). Started running again after 7 weeks, built up gradually and no problems.

I fell off my bike and fractured my post inferior ramis a week ago today. It was EXCRUCIATING, but thank God it is a stable fracture. I have yet to start physical therapy. I spend 23 hours in bed a day because it is VERY painful getting in and out of bed or sitting on the toilet. Getting around in crutches is exhausting and painful. The same with a walker. I couldn't fathom riding a bike in three months, let alone two weeks. Excellent video, by the way. I'm now taking Paracetamol instead...

Yes!!! This is what I’ve been trying to explain to my army doctor! I slammed my pubic ramis 7 months ago and I’ve been having sharp pain in my groin, lower back, and left leg (entire left side) and it’s super sharp when I run! When I walk over 15 mins the aching pain comes back. They don’t believe me or even try to understand my situation! They keep giving me naproxen, ibuprofen, etc!! And I keep telling them it’s not helping. Physical therapy isn’t helping either. Until today, my injury has still not healed. Sooooo stressful. I got so emotional watching this because she actually knows what she is talking about and explained everything soooo accurately! The only weird thing about this situation is that when I had a bone scan done it showed all my fractures, however when I did an mri it came back smack dab normal! I am sooo confused and so are my doctors.

I’m 11 weeks post inferior ramis fracture. Finally, this is the most helpful video I have found! Bless you and thank you.

Thank you thank you thank you!! What a great set of information! So glad I found this video. Still in diagnosis phase but you have given some great tips! So interesting to hear that healing time is so variable and can take up to 28 weeks.

Really helpful, thank you. I have this injury, plus a few more at present and this was much appreciated.

She is excellent, high knowledge and I my physiotherapist told me as well that X ray doesn't show stress fracture. I have been in a lot of pain from two days ago due I have pelvis stress fracture but look like I got as well pubic stress fracture and today gp ordered X ray and naproxen, oh Dear definitely...

I've been diagnosed with this stress fracture. I'm in the military and I've been to Physical therapy, using crutches, offloading the usual work load and the pain is only increasing and spreading. I've been increasing vitamin D and looking at my diet for quick healing. It's been about a year since the initial pain started and I'm not sure what to do next. Also, Thank you for your knowledge, it was mighty helpful!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge

I was riding my bicycle, when my foot slipped off the pedal,causing the top tube to slam into my groin,,I have had tenderness 😫 and a lump on the RH public bone ever since,,that was in 2010

I read you need, a CT or MRI with infusion to visualize ischial/pubic rami fractures.

well presented! thank you

Super helpful - THANKS!

Think about the activities of life: I packed up a huge house for move. Everyone said "use your legs to lift". So repetitively squating to life boxes and twisting to put them on top of something. For five yrs. I had Dx of piriformis syndrome, sacroilleitis etc with PT and multiple injections. I think there is too little emphasis on repetitive injuries of or ordinary life causing stress fractures.

. I have a weird painful strain in my lower bicep. it's aching badly, and hurts the most when I straighten my arm. I can feel the hook, so I guess I'll just give it rest for a few days.

I think i just did this a few weeks ago. I'm miserable. Super active and no time to rest. So painful.

Broke my pelvis like this from a motorcycle accident . I healed fine and was able to walk around, kneel, squat , normally without any problem. Like nothing ever happened. Until I went back to work as a waitress. After 3 weeks of working my regular schedule, I’m now currently sitting on my couch, and back to using my crutches because it feels very uncomfortable to walk again 😔.

M also pelvic factors. 1 month bed rest with belt every time. Then Phisiotherapist’s 2 months. Now little walking. I hv a best Phisiotherapist. If need any one I will be share.

I fell of a ladder yesterday I was totally shook. I can weight bare, and I drove home. The bruise on my hip is black and it’s swollen. The pain is in the front area near my pubic bone … 😖 I’m resting today trying to avoid Hospital due to the long waiting times.

Thxs

And don't crash into cars when cycling ‼️

Is walking style changed after fractured with comminuted fracture of right inferior & right superior pubic ramus

My husband hard a motorcycle accident and the borns are open please what are we going to do for the borns to close and heal fast.

Does anyone know why this would only hurt on the right side. It's super annoying. I can do cardio all day and my left is absolutely fine and unbothered. My right constantly hurts. It makes 0 sense. They should both hurt equally

Am interested of the cause I have same problem

It seriously hurts in this area. I run about 9 miles every morning. I was finishing up running one morning, I felt a sharp pain in this area. after I had to suddenly stopped for 7 days after a 30 day streak. By the 7th day the pain was all gone. I succeeded on my first attempt back after a week (6miles) that’s all I was able to run, As the run progressed, the pain grew more, I was in terrible, unbearable pain. it gets too tight. I can't loosen it. My left leg seemed to get shorter with each stride. I can kind of feel me hobbling around the track, my engine had even more power but I was forced to stop It's not so much the pain thing, but the limited movement in my leg

I have pain after i start running for 5min after that the pain goes away i cannot leave running as i have physical for army what should i do now 😞

I like u. You are good!

What if the borns are open

Feels so painful omg..just by seeing this video my genitals hurt omg🤣🤣🤣😭

Always great diagnosis and advice! 👌🫶👏
