SI Joint Pain and Prolotherapy
One of the things that has helped my SI Joints to become more "stable" was Prolotherapy Injections. You can go to goprolo.com for a detailed description of these treatments but the short version is this: a sugar substance is injected into the ligaments that connect to the bone. The shot must be placed exactly where the ligament attaches to the bone. This causes an inflammatory reaction which then causes the ligament to tighten up making the joint more stable. Many people with joint problems may have a condition called ligamentous looseness. Fancy term that means one has stretchy ligaments and thus your bones are not held into place properly. These injections hurt like crazy for several days and you must avoid taking anti-inflammatory drugs like Advil, aspirin, etc.
It may be worth considering for your SI Joint pain. I've had all the PT, shots, radiofrequency treatments, chiros - the whole nine yards. However, if the problem is your ligaments none of this will help in the long term.
Thoughts for your consideration
