If your MRI shows inflammation or injury in your SI joint, then an injection in the right spot may help. Have they done or will they do a hip/pelvis MRI to see what it shows and help focus treatment? My understanding is there is a functional type of MRI to show differences with movement. Static MRI may not show source of pain with functional movement.

I have had injections of all kinds in just about every conceivable place in my lower spine and pelvis. Only the very first epidurals helped, for about 2 weeks. Even then, the feeling in my buttocks was there, just not painful. That pain?feeling in the buttocks has always been there... for eight years.
MRI here, there, everywhere,. I've had aeveral over the years. I tell the doc where the pain is and she orders the MRI. That's all I know. Thanks for checking in.
