Pelvis fusion of the sacroiliac (SI) joint can be a treatment option for those with severe ankylosing spondylitis. This condition primarily affects the spine and sacroiliac joints, which connect the pelvis and lower spine. If medications and other treatments do not alleviate symptoms, surgery, including joint fusion, may be considered to improve joint function and reduce pain. Always consult with a healthcare provider to discuss the best treatment options for your specific condition.

Yes, I had both SI Joints fused a few months ago and have been in worse pain since. Also had a Lumbar Nerve Block which worked. No or little pain for 1 year. Needs to be done again. Doctor is now talking about a cluneal nerve block bilateral. It's in the same basic area as pelvis and SI Joints. Not looking forward to yet another procedure. I'm beginning to feel like a pincushion.
