Re: hip or unknown area pain! Debbie

[Guest guest]

Hi Debbie:

Could this be the sacroiliac joint area? I have had

trouble with that area on and off now for several

years, and my doctor has told me that it was related

to RA inflammation in that joint. I did not even know

there was a joint there - it is connected to the

pelvis and hip joints, lumbar spine, by connective

tissue, and when this tissue gets inflammed, you get

SI pain. At least that is the way I remember it being

described to me - anyone correct me if I am wrong

about this. So, my vote would be for SI pain - I have

had injection into this joint and it did help for a

few months with the clicking I was having on motion,

but did not really decrease the pain.
