Hi to everyone - found you on a Google search and am thankful I found this thread.

My husband was injured in a car accident about a year ago and has suffered from chronic low back pain ever since. Based on layman's reading and doctor input, we think (but don't know for sure) that the pain originates in his SI joint. He hasn't had any diagnostic injections yet, let alone SI injections, so we're operating sort of on the fly here, but I have a handful of questions about the SI injections.

For those who have received the injections, are they painful to receive? Is the relief you get from them worth the pain? How long do they last before they need to be repeated? Do you have yours done under Fluro, CT, or MRI? And if you're willing to share, what does each injection session cost on average?

We're trying to manage his pain conservatively, but I don't know how much longer he can take the daily pain and disruption - if this offers relief, he may have to go this route.

Thanks for the informational reading and for any insight you can provide.
