The injection needle may have injured nerves near the SI joint. A neurologist can do a EMG/nerve conduction study to narrow down nerves impacted.
Did you recently or ever fallen to cause the SI joint pain? Have you had a MRI of your pelvis/hips?
Since arms/hands are involved, you may need a cervical MRI done to see if there is anything compressing nerves in your neck or your spinal cord. Your lumbar spine can cause issues in your legs/feet but so could your cervical spine.

Yeah it's possible, though since my tingling/numbness is on both sides and my injection only on one, I felt that would be super odd. I am going to have EMG studies done and saw a neurologist. She's a bit mystified also. I did not fall. The SI pain came on suddenly one day and no idea what i did. I had had spinal surgery 3 mo previous though in my sacrum area. I think the SI weakness is connected to recovery from that. I do know I have some degenerative disc in the neck and lower lumbar. Had many MRI's a year ago. But it wasn't anything awful or needing surgery. I also had a pelvic and lumbar MRI real recently this year and they couldn't confirm anything to cause the SI joint area pain. The recent neuropathy came on after any MRI's i had done...I'd really hate to go and redo them all over. As of now my neurologist hasn't ordered any new ones.
