SI Joint troubles

[Guest guest]

I too, have had terrible problems with my SI joints and I tried it all:

cortisone shots (which sent me into a psychosis and I spent 3 days in ICU

getting shots of thorazine), I've had the nerves burned out, you name it, no

relief that was long term. Then by a fluke, I found a surgeon willing to

try a " new " procedure and he fused my SI joints but not the typical way.

Apparently the old way was very brutal and I was told by a surgeon that the

surgery made you hurt worse then dealing with the SI joints being inflamed.

Anyway, this new surgery was wonderful. I woke up in the recovery room in

less pain then I had for the last several years. It has been a miracle

surgery for me.

Rae: since so many of us have SI joint problems, any chance you could provide

either your doctor's name/location or the " name " of the procedure that he used.

Or some kind of description of the process that would help us find someone who's

tuned into too?
