Sacroiliac Joint Disfunction
Posted , 3 users are following.
I have had this condition for 11 years misdiagnosed, had discectomy L4/5 and implant discectomy 3/4 only to be told last week it's SJD. Every time this joint is examined I'm in extreme pain for days till it settles, also got intolerance to strong drugs so pain clinic advise Amitriptyline
which leaves me very groggy in morning. Now to get this investigated as to the cause and treatment, has anyone had same experience.

No I've been diagnosed with sciatica so far. However, I used to be on a high dose of Amitriptyline for nerve damage years ago and found it made me extremely groggy.

I had two Microdisectomies in the last months for L4 L5 disc. Some of the nerve pain went away but now I have no feeling in half my leg and my foot! Traded one condition for another. I am trying to come to terms with this because it affects my whole life - can't work, ski, even walk the dog. Are you able to do things?
Have you made any progress since your posting? I am hoping you feel better soon.
