I'm just curious if any of you post-fusion folks out there have had SI degeneration...
I recently read an article and can't remember where I found it, but the results were that there were an increase in SI joint degeneration after lumbar/sacral fusions (usually L/5 S/1). My fusion was successful, and I had no real complaints for years...at least in that area. Then, I began getting this really bad pain in the buttocks(no, I don't mean my DH ) that just kept getting worse. After some injections and an RFA, I figured out that was the issue, just wondered if anyone else had this particular side-effect...

THanks
