Yes, I'm still having problems and my DD is now 4. My pelvic joint has tightened but the sacroiliac joints are still very sloppy, and I experience this as unilateral lower back pain, pain in the tip of my hip, and also searing thigh pain. It's helpful to remember that pretty much all the nerves run through that area of your pelvis&back, so you can get a lot of referred pain if there's any inflammation/aggravation. I'm seeing a physio now who's working on release the muscle tightness (massage), reducing inflammation in the joints (ultrasound) and also exercises to improve my core strength.
I too haven't been able to return to bellydancing, and in my darkest hour I have wondered whether the flexibility I developed as a result of those years of dancing isn't the reason why I'm having so many problems now. But, our bodies are amazing things and I'm sure that with time and attention there will be healing.
i obviously haven't experienced this but did have issues with my sacrum last year/year before. i found that bowen therapy really helped a lot, more then anything else.
I still have pain and my last birth was over 4 years ago. Mainly in my right hip but also in my tailbone at times making it agony to stand up from sitting. It's worse when I am menstruating but can be exacerbated by anything (sitting for too long, wearing high heels, riding rollercoasters, most exercise). I keep my crutches close and it's not uncommon I need them. I have found swimming to be very helpful for exercise without hurting myself, but also for strengthening my core which is helpful for PGP. My chiro is a saint, and will see me daily when I am bad with small adjustments. It is improving over time, although I know when you are in pain it is little comfort, but it is likely to get better.
