Chiropractors - SI Joint Pain


Expert: Dr Ron Grassi,DC.,MS.,ACFEI. - 10/28/2009

Question
I went to a chiropractor 3 months ago due to sciatica pain I was experiencing in my right calf and ankle, he said it was due to my hip being out of place and performed adjustments on both hips, ever since then I have been experiencing alot of pain with sitting in my sacral and si joint areas and also stabbing pains in the front of my thighs. I have seen an orthopedic specialist and had pelvic xrays and a mri but they did not find anything wrong. What could be causing this pain? What type of doctor should I see? I have had two diagnosis si joint pain and bulging disk but they are just guessing at this.

Answer
Hi Eden: Have you had an EMG or Nerve Test yet.? Either  a Neurologist or Physiatrist do these. How is all your blood work.? any signs of inflammation.? With the pain you are experiencing you should ask for a Nuclear Bone Scan too. SI Joint pain IS NOT a Diagnosis. It is a symptom. And Bulging Disc WOULD NOT cause that kind of problem. After these tests, see a Rhumatologist. The reason the Adjustment hurt is likely due to the inflammation I suspect. How old are you and where do you live.  Keep me posted on your test results.
