Sacroiliitis Causes Degenerative arthritis, or osteoarthritis of the spine, causing degeneration of the sacroiliac joints and in turn leading to inflammation and SI joint pain. A trauma that affects the lower back, hip or buttocks, such as a car accident or fall.
The SI joint can become painful when the ligaments become too loose or too tight. This can occur as the result of a fall, work injury, car accident, pregnancy and childbirth, or hip/spine surgery (laminectomy, lumbar fusion). Sacroiliac joint pain can occur when movement in the pelvis is not the same on both sides.
Sacroiliitis is not life-threatening unless you have an infection that is causing it. If you experience any signs of infection such as fever or confusion, go to the emergency room immediately.
Physical therapy, steroid injections into the sacroiliac joint, and radiofrequency ablation are the treatment options for this inflammatory joint disease.
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.
