Diagnosing SI Joint Pain - Kelvin Wilson, M.D.

After 20 years of military service, Leonel’s lower back pain was becoming more than he could handle. When a lumbar surgery didn’t bring him the desired relief, he discovered that it was actually his sacroiliac (SI) joint that was the culprit of his pain.
Dr. Kelvin Wilson at Orlando Neurosurgery says, “About 13-20% of patients that come to us with lower back pain actually have SI joint pain.” Symptoms of SI joint pain include pain that extends into the leg, worsening pain at night, and a “catching sensation” when standing up or sitting down. Reviewing a patient’s history, a physical examination, and a diagnostic injection are key components in discovering if the SI joint is the source of the patient’s pain.

Thank you Doctor.
Your comments confirm the Exact reason that I will Not have Lumbar Fusion...
Obviously, if you fuse an area of the spine, it often CAUSES Deficiency above and below the fusion site, due to an un-natural amount of stress placed at these sites.
We MUST seek out "WholeBody answers", Rather than fixating on one location, organ, or system, at a time.
MEDICAL COMMUNITY...
PLEASE WAKE UP!🤕
..13-20% of those that suffer w low back pain ... comes from the SI joints...
And then, ...40% of lumbar fusion patients come back requiring SI joint repair later...
