Sacroiliac Joint Injections

[Guest guest]

Has anyone been diagnosed with sacroiliac dysfunction/deterioration due to their

inflammatory arthritis? If so, have you tried cortisone injections in the SI

joint and did they work? I'm scheduled to have the injections later this week

and wanted to see if anyone has had experience with this.

I went to a back specialist because of lower back pain and my xrays show

degeneration in the left and right SI joints. There has been some question

whether I psoriatic arthritis or sero-negative rheumatoid arthritis. Does

rheumatoid arthritis affect the spine? Based on what I've been told by my

rheumy, RA doesn't affect the spine while PA often does. I'm currently on

Remicade, but still suffering from the SI joint pain.

Any input, experience, or discussion would be greatly appreciated!
