Interesting, but disturbing to hear about your SI joint fusions. I was going to ask new, never seen before, doctor about that as a last resort. But I guess that is not the answer. However
I have a friend who had a fusion in her spine that did work, She said it took a year to completely heal and the surgery was quite painful and difficult and she is a nurse. But it was not her sacriliac joint.
I am trying CBD salve & then the heating pad, again, it only works for a short time. CBD and all of that "plant's" ingredients, both medicinal and recreational, are legal in my state.

I would take a disc fusion any day over open approach SI joint fusion.
I just went back to see the doc who removed hardware 6 weeks ago. I still have horrible pain. He suggested he could take out what ever hardware thats left in me but he isn’t sure that’s what’s causing my pain. He suggested it could be my hip. I told him my last ortho doc thought it could be my hip. So at that point I went to a hip doc who felt like it wasn’t my hip causing my pain. This doc ordered a diagnostic injection for the hip. I’m exhausted. I cry every single day because of pain. Nobody or nothing can help. I stopped going to the pain clinic because pain meds didn’t help. Not even the strongest kind they give you after surgery. I’ve had over five docs tell me the pain stimulator won’t work with my type of pain. I am at a loss.
Where do you get CBD salve? Is that topical or gummies?
