I left a message about 30 mins ago regarding the removal of si joint screws I have been in constant si joint pain for months. I kept telling the surgeon it was the screw digging into me. Finally had a diagnostic injection specifically to determine if it is indeed the screw causing the constant pain sure enough it proved I was right. Now need to schedule surgery to remove the screw. My question is-should the bone holes filled be filled in with cement?

@maggieflorida Just joined this group. I'm having the same problem as you. Did you get your screws removed? I can not find a doctor in Wisconsin who will take my screws out, the Dr. who put the two screws in claims they can't be removed. I'm in so much pain that I'm now on Hydromorphone. I hate pain pills!
