SI joint

So, what is an SI joint? The Si joint is the joint in the bony pelvis between the sacrum and the ilium of the pelvis which are joined by strong ligaments. The sacrum supports the spine and is supported by the ilium on each side. The joint is a strong weight bearing joint that produces interlocking of the 2 bones.

 The Dr. proposed that I get an SI injection . The injection would go into the joint and would be diagnostic as well as possible curative. It would show what was going on in that area to the Dr. and she would inject a steroid which might decrease any inflammation thereby stopping pain. STOPPING PAIN! I could not quite fathom that . I signed up immediately and will return in 2 weeks for the injection. There is hope ...of course not  that I would ever do that gymnastic postion above but that I could be pain and drug free.
