Same here--why do doctors do nothing to help us but suggest the same old useless meds, devices, and procedures?
Very simply, I think it's because they don't know what to do. It's beyond their capabilities and the current knowledge of medicine.
Like everyone else responding here, I've tried it all. All of it does not work. The doctors hem and haw and try to act helpful (well some do!).
So I guess we are on our own! I like Ben Gay and all those type creams- they give relief for about 10 minutes!

I agree! Have you tried Capsaicin? I like to put that on and then lay on the heating pad. Even though it says not to do that. It helps burn my pain away. I also like the tens unit. But it’s a pain to have on with it falling off while walking around. The pain is debilitating and I wish they can figure out how to fix it. I’m far in worst pain than I was before my SI was fused. I never should have allowed the doc to fuse me in the first place let along 9 times. Pain and feeling desperate was the driving force.
