Like you, @joelhoward1092, I have my entire lumbar fused, have real difficulties with my SI joints, (particularly right side, but both do flare-up), & am considering future options to quiet them down.
My best "solution" so far has been chiropractor adjustments, but that gives me only about a week of semi-relief.
I'm looking forward to hearing SI joint fusion stories also, but at the same time, after 4 lumbar procedures, I've become rather "knife shy".
So I'm hoping to hear from others who've had their SI joint(s) fused... did it help or hurt your relief efforts?

Thanks for the response. I am at a point where I need to do some different. Pending the results of a diagnostic injection in my SI Joints, I am considering a minimally invasive fusion. However, just yes I saw a doctor that specializes in pelvic floor and pelvic therapy in general. She thinks she can help me and is concerned that fusion therapy SI joints could/would cause a cascade of problems down the road. She thinks that my pelvic problem is because I am fused at L5-S1, which does make sense. I am very confused about what to do.
