FAQ About SI (Sacroiliac Joint) Syndrome
Tell me more about Sacroiliac Joint Syndrome!
The sacroiliac joint or SI joint is the joint between the sacrum, at the base of the spine and the ilium of the pelvis, which are joined by ligaments. It is a strong, weightbearing synovial joint with irregular elevations and depressions responsible for interlocking of the two bones. The human body has two sacroiliac joints: a left and a right joint that often match individually but are highly variable from person to person. Sacroiliac joint syndrome is thought to be a problem with the normal movement of the sacroiliac joints (too much or too little movement in the joint). Sacroiliac joint syndrome may cause low back and sometimes leg pain from inflammation of the sacroiliac joint.
What are the Sings & Symptoms of Sacroiliac Joint Pain?
The signs and symptoms of SI pain start in the lower back and buttock, and may radiate to the lower hip, groin or upper thigh. While the pain is usually one sided, it can occur on both sides. Patients may also experience numbness or tingling in the leg or a feeling of weakness in the leg.
