Hello everyone. I am new to this forum and am very interested in hearing about SI joint fusion. My Dr. just told me I need to have it done. Bilateral. Two yrs. ago I had Bilateral Sacroiliac joint stabilization. Did okay for about a yr. then started to experience the same symptoms as before the screws (4 titanium) were put in. Several Dr's, 2 different physical therapy groups and a chiropractor later, I think I have finally found the Dr that can help me. He has done 2 ct guided injections on me to determine if it is still my SI joint and it is, from all indications. Apparently the screws were not put in the right location to start with and that is why I am still having pain. I need to know what to expect from this surgery! I am a 57 yr old female. Have always been very active, UNTIL THIS! Horseback riding, golf, 4 grandchildren, etc. I want to have my life back if possible. Can anyone give me some idea what to expect?
