Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is improper movement of the joints at the bottom of the spine that connect the sacrum to the pelvis. It can result in pain in the low back and legs, or inflammation of the joints known as sacroiliitis.
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction affects the sciatic nerve and has similar symptoms to sciatica. However, pain along the sciatic nerve caused by sacroiliac joint dysfunction is not caused by a compressed nerve root as it exits the spine, as occurs with true sciatica.
Imaging tests An X-ray of your pelvis can reveal signs of damage to the sacroiliac joint. If ankylosing spondylitis is suspected, your doctor might recommend an MRI — a test that uses radio waves and a strong magnetic field to produce very detailed cross-sectional images of both bone and soft tissues.
What Does Sacroiliitis Feel Like? Inflamed SI joints can cause pain in your lower back, buttocks, hips, or groin. The pain may extend down one or both legs, and sometimes even affect your feet. It can feel sharp and stabbing, or dull and achy.
Sacroiliitis rarely goes away on its own. Occasionally an acute case may go away on its own with rest, but most cases will need some form of treatment. It's best to make an appointment early if your symptoms do not clear up after a few days of over-the-counter painkiller and rest.
You may experience sacroiliac (SI) joint pain as a sharp, stabbing pain that radiates from your hips and pelvis up to the lower back and down to the thighs. Sometimes it may feel numb or tingly, or as if your legs are about to buckle.
You may be able to get disability benefits if your sacroiliac joint (SI) dysfunction makes it difficult to walk or to stand or sit for long periods of time.
