I was told it has to be managed, not cured. Find a really good pain management Dr.. I find that an SI support belt - ordered (fro Amazon of course) helps when standing or walking. It has to applied in right area across the joint not around waist. Adjust the Velcro straps until you feel relief. PT will tell you not to use them because you should be strengthening your own muscles. I do that too, hope that helps.

I’m going to try that. I will just tell PT that l’m doing it and also
tell my rheumatologist. Repeated SI joint injections have done no good and when it hurts it hurts. I want relief!!
