What Causes Pain In Right Posterior Pelvic Quadrant?
Question: pain in the right poster pelvic quadrant, size of a golf ball, not brought on by R.O.M to gluts or hip extensors or hip abduction. no pain with resisted hip ext, abd. pain on palpation, slight swelling, under palpated area and increase warmth to touch. Pain ++ when sitting too long. Hot yoga doesn't help. No pain in P.S.I.S joints so not ligament inflammation. Could this be a cyst of some kind below the muscles . Has been going on for 4 months and is now worse. Very painful when twisting back in lying or standing. should we have him go for an MRI or Ultra sound to rule out cystic properties? thank you for your advice. XXXXXXX XXXX
