Severe SI joint pain and pain stimulators

I had my L4 & L5 disc fused. Last Oct is when they fused my L4 disc and I guess it’s still not fused all the way yet. But I know my pain is coming from my SI joint. It’s debilitating.
It’s the same pain I had for years but continues to get worse.
It’s too bad CBD doesn’t last long. I take hydromorphone every three hours and it doesn’t even touch my pain. It does help me be able to get up in the mornings. This med is what docs give people after major surgeries for pain relief. So when I had my surgeries last fall I didn’t have much pain relief after my surgeries. They also ripped hardware out of my SI and added new hardware at the same time they fused my L4 disc.

Your sad story reminds me of the mechanic trying to fix the problem with your car. Except he doesn't know exactly what the problem is so he tries a half dozen fixes, none of which work. Then, on the 7th or 8th try, he stumbled on the right fix. Of course, meanwhile you are getting charged for all the non-productive hours of hit and miss tries. He could have consulted with other mechanics, or searched the web, but pride prevented him from doing so. Too bad, too sad.
