I'm having problems with my iliolumbar ligament and haven't been able
to golf in awhile. Has anyone had problems with this ligament? I'd be
interested in hearing how long it took you to get over it and what you
did to strengthen the area. Thank you!!

Give me a hint where it's located and I will get back to you.

When you are standing , place your hands on your hips (pelvis) with the
thumbs extended, touching the bony prominence on the upper part of the
pelvis (posterior). The illiolumbar ligament attaches at this approximate
point and extends upward, also attaching to the lower vertebral bony
prominences.

Thanks Doc, If I ever hurt that I will quit golf.

#1: You only give up golf when you don't have a patch of terrain to hit a
small round thing with long thin thing into a hole. All kidding aside,
simple lumbar extension exercises using an inflatable Swiss ball should help
most lumbar instability problems. $25 at any sporting goods store,
instructions included.
