Living with sacroiliitis joint (SIJ) dysfunction may be excruciatingly painful and aggravating. It’s a painful ailment that occurs when the joints in your lower back (where your pelvis joins to your spine) become inflamed, stiffed, or weakened. 

If you have this illness, you may experience pain in your buttocks and lower back, which may extend down your leg. It may worsen after prolonged sitting, standing, or stair climbing. The pain you’re experiencing might be mild to severe–at any degree, it’s not something anybody wants to go through, and it’s something orthopedic doctors see all too often.

Causes of Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

  • Car accident, serious fall, or physical trauma
  • Arthritis
  • Obesity
  • Pregnancy
  • Repetitive stress
  • Urinary tract infection
  • Crohn’s disease
  • Overuse
  • One side of the joint becomes too loose
  • One side of the joint becomes stiff
  • Muscle imbalances
  • Hip problems
  • Injured joints

SIJ is more common in elderly individuals, but it can strike anyone at any age. The illness is more prone to women than males, and it might worsen during or after intercourse and during menstruation. And, while it can impact athletes and physically active persons, it can also afflict those who lead a sedentary lifestyle.
