 not working for me August 31, 2010
C. Kahn (North Carolina)
I'm 6 months pregnant and having a lot of sciatic nerve pain. I was hoping this would help to realign things and take some pressure off of my nerves. It came highly recommended to me by a friend and most of the reviews here are quite positive. Sadly, it just hurts. When I lay on it, it causes really bad, sharp pain. I can't lay on it for even 5 minutes. I've tried repositioning it, propping myself with pillows elsewhere to change the angle, etc, but it's just not working out.
Sacro Wedgy August 5, 2010

As far as I can tell, it's a gimmick. It didn't help me at all.
Didn't Fit! June 26, 2010

So there was nothing in any of the description to let you know which version of the Sacrowedgy you should use. Even on the manufacturer website it alluded to some women "might" need the male version. Well, I'm not THAT tall. I'm around 5'7" tall. Well, I get the sacrowedgy and try it out and never can seem to get it positioned correctly after reading and re-reading (several times) the directions. Then I notice the small statement on the box, "some taller "(5'7"+) females with a longer, more narrow torso may do better on the male SW".
Ok, so that was the first place anywhere that it actually gave sizing. And even then it's very unclear as "may do better". So basically I'm on the border of the "female" version isn't working, and I don't really have a narrow or long torso either. But now I will have to pay to ship this item back to amazon and try the male one. But it could be that neither version is going to fit my body.

I bought this in desperation and as a last resort after my doctor refused to do an MRI and 3 months of off and on physical therapy did nothing for my pain. Honeslty I didnt expect it to work. I hoped it would and it was half the cost of my dr. copay so i figured, what the h*ll. I used it a few times and it hurt me worse than before. I was so dissappointed, tonight I had pain at its peak and I decided to try it one more time before throwing it away. I must have had it placed wrong before bc this time I layed on it for 25 minutes and when i got up i could walk and move almost pain free. It lessened my pain so much I actually started to cry. :D Works great for me now that I placed it correctly.
Caused tremendous pain for me! If suspected arthritis, beware! March 9, 2010

I had high hopes for this product and believed that perhaps it could help me find a bit of relief with my SI joint pain. After using it and experiencing INTENSE pain with pressure on the SI joint, I believe that I either have a small fracture or some sort of arthritic condition where this product would not work for me.
I believe if muscles are involved (or other soft tissues), this would probably be a great option. I am experiencing more advanced SI issues most likely due to several knee reconstructions in the 80's and differing leg lengths (my postulation). The pain has been really, really rough and I bought this device out of desperation thinking that perhaps some kind of adjustment might help. I was wrong, this device caused a tremendous amount of pain for me and I had to return it.
If you have soft tissue issues, this would probably be great. If you have degenerative issues (as I am discovering I have), this could potentially do more harm. Before purchasing, just understand what issues you are working with in your SI joint. In sum, great for soft-tissue issues but not so much for anything degenerative.
For my issue, 1 star.
UPDATE: After a Lumbar/Sacral MRI it was discovered I have facet syndrome and disc degeneration. This was not the right option for me. Keep that in mind if you buy this product. You may find the product SPINAL STRETCH Portable Back Pain Relief which I use and have reviewed.
