My pain is at the left S1 joint/hip and does not radiate to my legs.

I previously had that surgery before I started having the SI joint/hip pain. I most recently had a fusion at S1-L5 and L5-L4. It relieved the pain that radiated down my leg, but it did not relieve my SI joint/hip pain or my tailbone pain. I had a steroid injection in my SI joint, and all of my SI joint/hip and tailbone pain was gone for a couple of days. My follow-up appointment for the injection is on the 17th. It is certain to me, in my case, that my SI joint is the problem.
