Chronic sacrioliitis pain Stinks

So one of my so far confirmed diagnosis is chronic sacrioliitis. It really got severe in 2008. After an emergency C-section....after it I literally couldnt walk without aid. And I walked like I had partial paraylisis. Extreme pain for more than a month.


With alot of PT and things I got back on track and now have ongoing problems with since. I cant walk for long periods of time without my lower back wanting to give in and I have to just rest a bit. I love walking though and always liked along with bike riding ( although its been a long time since that )Even just sitting sometimes I get sudden pain from it. OA is another problem I think helps create more problems in my lower back. ( if anyone has any options for helping that please let me know. )



As I said I am having an MRI in a couple of days so I hope some better options are availble then, but anyone have suggestions?

I know that there are a few people on the boards who have had these issues but they may not be frequenting HW lately...

You can do a search in the upper right hand corner to look at previous threads/information about it.

Hi Pink

I have had huge problems with my SI joints. I had tried everything, physiotherapy, heat, TENS, injections, radio frequency ablation but had no success.

I was so desperate, pain was so bad that I couldn't sit, hardly stand and only walk for a short time that in the end I had to resort to surgery. First op was in January. I seemed to be making good progress so decided to have the other side done. From day one it felt great, hardly any pain, easier to move about etc. However I started to get pain again in the first side. Long story short, the first op was deemed a failure, so here I am again, about to undergo my third SI fusion of the year.

Don't give up, try injections, most people never have to resort to surgery for this condition, I think I am one of the unlucky few.
