I just had a CAT scan and xrays that the doctor says reveals that the fusion is "fused." Could this be a misdiagnosis? Also, what are the other possibilities? Torn scar tissue? Torn or sprained ligaments/tendons? I had lifting to do before the end of the school year, had several personal "movings" to do at home this summer, which all have resulted in chronic pain again with these SI joints. What do you guys think?

I'm a year post fusion and my last x-ray implicated that the fusion was still not complete. I sometimes get a slipping feeling associated with a click like it's goingg back into place. How long has itbeen since your surgery?Whee was itdone? The doctors all seem rather evasive about the soundness of the fusion. I wonder if I'm still growing bone ir if you just heal so much and that's it? I do seem to feel a bit more stable.My surgeon said to epect a 6 mont to a years recovery time.
