SI joints pain
Good morning Doctor. I undergone spine fusion on 23rd July 2015. I am having SI joints pain since that time. I have taken Injection for pain relief after six months of fusion. I got 25 to 30 % relief. Dr suggested some exercises for relief but I am unable to do because of the pain. I have been asking my doctor for 100 % relief. He said that he had put 100 % efforts from his side. So please let me know if there is any way to get relief. I can do exercises if I get relief 60 to 80 % relief. Let me know if there is any way to get 100 % relief. Thank you.

SI joint pain is normally due to weak core muscles and gluteal muscles. This is common due to post operative immobilisation.
Next Steps
Please ask your physiotherapist to start core muscles activation and gluteal activation.
Health Tips
Avoid slouch sitting position. That is the most common cause of SI joint pain

You will have to do exercises. Start with simple pain free ones. Then only go to difficult ones..kindly request your physiotherapist to go slow. You can coordinate the time of your physiotherapy session and pain killer. Also lot modalities are available with physiotherapy specialty which will help you reduce your pain.
