Sacroilliitis Joint Injection.....

I too have chronic SI joint pain. Its been bad for almost a year now and is almost crippling. However, the injections did not work for me in my knee so I have doubts. Plus I had the cortisone flare after the knee one and don't want the injections. They won't do an ablation unless you do injections first. There is a newer treatment called Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections. I've heard great things about it. If anyone has experience with this please comment. I am finding it difficult to find where to get this locally where I live. Will have to travel some distance. Also, not sure if insurance covers.

I'm late responding to you but PRP injections have been a game-changer for me. I started with gel injections for an osteoarthritic knee and have been doing gel injections followed by PRP injections (they are not covered by insurance and I pay $500 per) and I am at 100% now.
Thanks,
Mike

I don't know if insurance covers but one didn't as it's considered experimental and costs from what my Dr told me $600-700 depending on location. My surgeon sent me for an ablation however pain management suggested I try a vehicular nerve block and if that didn't help an ablation would not help either. I paid $250 for it to find out it wasn't my nerves and I knew it wasn't but did this to prove it to them. Best of luck.....I do have some cortisone flare but once it's gone I've been great.
