@alysebrunella, the link to the Mayo Health letter article on sacroiliac inflammation is healthletter.mayoclinic.com/content/article.cfm?n=426. The entire health letter is posted at lmweb.mayoclinic.com/t/15060415/3116475/61/0/. I wonder whether the article is available to people who are not subscribers to the health letter. I hope so. Too many millions of dollars are being spent on mechanical fixes for lower back pain when the cause is something immunological or metabolic or simply muscle strain (including its effects on tendons).

My back pain is caused by Spinal Stenosis. Back surgery is the final<br>answer. Wait until the pain can't be reached by any med, and then wait a<br>little longer. I am in the waiting period. Unfortunately, this is combined<br>with 4 right knee surgeries and a pin from my hip to knee (rt leg, of<br>course). Anyway, Spinal Stenosis is also a cause of back pain<br>
