Hello Jennifer, if I may call you by your name. Yes i am having issues. I was diagnosed with S I joint disfunction and that the joint is shifting and I’m having severe pain issues. I have been doing my exercises to help deal with the pain but it is exhausting. The medication helps me get through most days. I have heard and read about S I fusion and don’t want to go through that until it’s the last resort. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

@s1curve My physical therapist would agree with you about SI joint fusion, and that can’t be undone. There are a few discussions on here about it. I know a lady who had it done and is in constant pain. Of course everyone is different and what you’ve experienced because of Harrington rods may be related to your condition now. I have some SI joint laxity which will allow my pelvis to shift and that does cause back pain or leg pain, but it is corrected when my pelvis is realigned. I also have body tightness from thoracic outlet syndrome that will pull on my pelvis and neck. My PT is very valuable in correcting issues. For the most part I’m fine and just need a few tweaks now and then. My only spine surgery was a cervical fusion.
