Wendy, I noticed in your signature something about sacro injections. I don't know if you saw a reply in another thread so I brought it here.
I wondered...have you had those, or are you thinking about it because it's been suggested? If you haven't, I highly recommend trying it! They are very painful, but...when I first started getting those, it was really the first time I started having a lot of relief from lower back pain! I had for years been getting epidurals in a couple of my disc spaces. Ehhh...sometimes they worked, sometimes they didn't. That pain specialist moved away and a new one took his place, and he was the one who said...I want to try SI's instead because often they can be not necessarily the source of the problem but help the problem. Well, they worked wonders for me. Wish they helped my tailbone pain though. But again, they really really helped with my low back pain. Thought you might want to know if you hadn't tried it.

Hi, no I haven't tried them yet. I want to see an orthopedist first before I go and do something like that. I have already had facet injections and radio frequency ablations that have failed. So I am not exactly up for more pain in that area again.
If there is something more serious going on, I want to know for sure. I am waiting on a call back from my primary doc for a recommendation on an ortho that specializes in back/hip issues. Thanks for the info about the procedre though!

Awwwww, you poor thing! ((Wendy))
Well, the injections are painful (which ones aren't!?) but they didn't hurt anymore than the pain I was already having and the success was great. Each time I've had them, they've helped with pretty long periods in between. I hope you find someone who can help.
