SACROILIAC JOINT DYSFUNCTION - Dysfunction in the sacroiliac joint, or SI joint, is thought to cause low back and/or leg pain. The leg pain can be particularly difficult, and may feel similar to sciatica or pain caused by a lumbar disc herniation. Sacroiliac dysfunction and instability, generally refers to pain in the sacroiliac joint region that is caused by abnormal motion in the sacroiliac joint, either too much motion or too little motion. It typically results in inflammation of the sacroiliac joint, and can be debilitating.
Common symptoms include
1) lower back pain,
2) buttocks pain,
3) sciatic leg pain,
4) groin pain,
5) hip pain,
6) urinary frequency,
7) transient numbness,
8) prickling, or tingling.
Pain can range from dull aching to sharp and stabbing and increases with physical activity. Symptoms also worsen with prolonged or sustained positions. Bending forward, stair climbing, hill climbing, and rising from a seated position can also provoke pain. Pain is reported to increase during menstruation in women. Patients with severe and disabling sacroiliac joint dysfunction can suffer from insomnia and depression.
