SI Joint Dysfunction: Anyone had their SI joints fused?

@joelhoward1092 It's worth a try, right? Fusing the SI joint is a permanent change, and it could put you in more pain afterward. My physical therapist told me about this. I do stretching and some muscle exercises to get my pelvis back in alignment and I use to wear an SI belt for stability. My pelvis tends to go out of shape because I have tight muscles on one side that pulls the illium bone forward. I try to keep my body aligned as best I can with stretching, and if I was really off, I could see my PT for a tuneup. Pelvis floor strength is important because that is holding your body up on a muscular floor within the pelvis. With aging, the pelvic floor can be weaker.

Thanks for the information Jennifer. So are you able to stay ahead of your pain with stretching and exercises?
