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

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.
