Hello! I'm a new member...

Hello Everyone,

My name is Sara and I was in a MVA on October 23, 2010. Ever since, I've had terrible back and hip pain along with Sciatica. I went through PT, Chiropractor, and massage therapy. I also had an MRI done but nothing showed up.
I was finally diagnosed with Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction. I had my first Sacroiliac joint injection done last Wednesday 2/9/11 which confirmed the SI Joint Dysfunction but it hasn't helped with the pain. My doctor mentioned that I may have to have Sacroiliac joint fusion as I haven't found anything to help with the pain.
I'm hoping to meet some people who have SI Joint Dysfunction and may have went through the fusion.

Thank you,
Sara

Hi Sara,

Welcome to the Spine Patient Society.

I'm sorry that sacroiliac joint (SI) dysfunction brings you here. There are quite a few Spine Patient Society Members that have had SI joint fusion. Make sure to search our Surgical Outcomes Forum, click here --> Surgical Outcomes Forum.

Here's a great article from our Spine Patient Education Library: A Patient's Guide to Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction.

Good luck!
