Flare up of SI Joints
I am really not sure what flared up my SI joints. I did take a hard fall on my butt a couple of months earlier when I was walking my dog in the rain and I slipped, so that may have done it. But, my Pain Management doctor said they may have just gone out of alignment because my spine has has so much done to it (3 surgeries in 3 years). But, the injection worked really well and if they flare up again I may consider having a Rhizotomy (RF Ablation, much like Biacuplasty) on them. I have heard it works really well, they zap the nerves that transmit the pain, and you are pain free.
