There is another surgeon out there who is an expert in SI surgery AND he is in the OR with Dr. Lippitt's assistance. I am giving prolotherapy a few more months and then flying out get the surgery.
Sally, maybe this is the answer to our prayers!

Hi. I'm new to this forum. Did you end up having surgery with Dr. Weiss? I have an appointment scheduled with him in early Feb. Hoping someone can tell me a bit about their experience with him. I've had chronic low back pain for past nine years and was recently told I have significant degeneration of SI join and will need SI fusion for pain relief. I've tried PT (x3) , injections, prolotherapy, chiropractic, accupuncture, massage. You name it, I've done it! Anyway, was thrilled to find this forum.
