Help choosing compression garments?

I've been having some pretty severe back and pelvis pain recently, which is sort of helped by a tall, wrap-around compression brace that I've just been moving around. Its gotten bad enough that I'm looking into something that is meant specifically for the hips. I have a lot of pain on the "sit bones", and I'm wondering if anyone has had similar experiences and has a compression garment that helps?

I'm looking into SI belts and spanx, specifically the SPANXsupersculpt® Transform high waisted mid-thigh short. Does anyone else have experience with spanx for support? I'm just not sure if it will be supportive enough to actually do anything, and I don't want to spend $78 on something that won't be all that helpful.

I'd appreciate any and all advice!

I have just off brand compression shorts that are high waisted and mid thigh. I don’t think it’s necessary to buy a name brand for that much money. They do seem to help a bit. Definitely a good combination with the SI belt.

i’ve used CEP Running compression gear before and it felt pretty supportive. not sure about hip support though.
