Severe Pain in right hip
For last couple of months, I am having severe pain in my right buttock and front side ( around hope bone). I had pelvic and LS spine MRI. Pelvic MRI said all is normal but LS spine report says there is acute sacroilteatis. My orthopaedic said there is very mild inflammation and looks like more of SI joint sprain. I am on medication and taking physiotherapy but there isn't much improvement. I want to know if this condition can be managed or there is no cure? What is the success rate of the SI joint steroids injection? Should I consider that option since my pain is really unbearable at times?
