My husband, age 70, blacked out last Halloween (2022) and fell flat on his back in our bathroom floor. He was seen in ER but they said all he had was bruising. Months later his pain was so great he saw an orthopedic doctor who did x-rays and saw several fractured ribs, several fractured vertebrae. This last July he saw a spine surgeon who x-rays his pelvis and did provocative tests for SI joint dysfunction. It was horribly painful, then he had the injections to see if they relieved his pain and they did for about 5 hours. He is scheduled for SI joint surgery the day before Thanksgiving. He is living on opioids and there is no quality of life the pain is so intense. We are praying the surgery will give him relief from the pain. His pain does go down his hips and legs as well. Only this last surgeon thought to look at the SI joints.
