Presentation
CONCLUSION: The present study suggests the sacroiliac joint is an uncommon but real source of low back pain. The accuracy of some of the presumed "sacroiliac pain provocations tests" is questioned. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Furthermore, no physical signs of discogenic aetiology should be present. [pijn.com]
If the cause of pain is inflammatory in origin, stiffness is often present as well. What is the Treatment for SI Pain? Physical therapy can be very helpful in resolving SI pain. [medisavvy.com]

Unable to Bend
Movement Restrictions Unable to bend forwards. Bending back slightly restricted and painful at end of range. Bending back with left sacral torsion initially eased the pain. [back-in-business-physiotherapy.com]

Sighing
Sciatica (pronounced sigh-at-eh-kah) describes the symptom of pain in the leg(s), with possible tingling, numbness, or weakness. [dolmanlaw.com]

Lower Abdominal Pain
abdominal pain Chronic hip pain Chronic urinary frequency Chronic groin pain Chronic sciatica Causation Some common causes of disorder of the sacroiliac joint are mundane motor vehicle accidents, mechanical falls, and lifting injuries involving torsion [practicalpainmanagement.com]
Musculoskeletal
-
Short Legs
An orthotic for a short leg may help to stabilize the region, as well as a supportive sacroiliac belt, which produces stabilization and helps to prevent further injury and inflammation. [necksolutions.com]

Joint Tenderness
SI Joint Pain Symptom Joint Pain Symptoms and signs associated with joint pain can include joint redness, joint swelling, joint tenderness, joint warmth, limping, locking of the joint, loss of range of motion of the joint, stiffness, weakness. [medicinenet.com]

Mid Back Pain
Strangley enough, the few days prior to the lifting incident, his right index finger knuckle suddenly became swollen and painful and there was some strong mid back pain with rotation. [back-in-business-physiotherapy.com]

Distractibility
Eleven subjects with sacroiliitis were examined with the use of distraction testing by each of 3 PTs. Subjects lay on an examination board equipped with one force plate for each SI joint. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Si Testing In the Distraction Test (testing right and left SI simultaneously), vertically oriented pressure is applied to the anterior superior iliac spinous processes directed posteriorly, distracting from the sacroiliac joint. [totalmotionpt.net]
These are the tests recommended by the above authors to use together: Gaenslen Test FABER / Patrick Test Thigh Thrust / Femoral Shear Test ASIS Distraction Sacral Compression The Best Tests for SI Joint Pain I will admit that I am not a SI joint expert [mikereinold.com]
Reproducibility has been demonstrated in a number of SI tests, such as the SI compression test, the SI distraction test, the Patrick test, the Gaenslen test, the Thigh Thrust test, the Fortin finger test, and the Gillet test. [pijn.com]

Delusion
So I say why limit yourself and possibly miss helping someone just because of some delusion of skill, some rubbish tests and personal pride, I say push that bugger in all directions until something feels better for the patient, it’s that simple!!! [thesports.physio]
Urogenital

Urinary Urgency
Another symptom experienced by 10-15% of women with sacroiliac joint partial displacement is urinary urgency/ frequency. 4 These women have to go more often than most others. [practicalpainmanagement.com]

Excitement
I was super excited to see a book come out that puts it all at my fingertips. I highly recommend this method and book for clinicians to help deal with that ever bothersome SI joint. Thank You Deb for a great resource. [optp.com]

Workup
Testing for hypothyroidism, cortisol abnormalities, or other metabolic or endocrine imbalances may be appropriate as part of the workup for a patient with depression. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment
Possible SIJ pain requires a thorough evaluation and treatment option. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Non-somatic Treatment Psychological Treatment Depression Treatment Cognitive-Behavioural Treatment Rehabilitation Treatment Somatic Treatment Pharmacological treatment: Non-steroid Anti-inflammatories (short period) Other Treatments Manual/Musculoskeletal [pijn.com]
SI Joint DYSFUNCTION Treatment Initial conservative treatment options for the SI joint typically involve physical therapy, medication and injection management. [spinemd.com]
Treatment options Often, when a patient is diagnosed with SI joint pain, the first step will be to pursue conservative treatment designed to relieve pain and reduce strain on the joint. [laserspineinstitute.com]
Prognosis
From Source: iStock What is the prognosis of sacroiliac joint dysfunction? The prognosis of sacroiliac joint dysfunction varies depending on the cause of the dysfunction. [medicinenet.com]
What is Your Prognosis for Sacroiliac Joint Pain? The success of sacroiliac joint pain treatment via pelvic joint re-alignment and subsequent dynamic stabilisation via a deep abdominal and hip core stability control programs is very good. [physioworks.com.au]
Etiology
SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Previous studies have implicated the sacroliac joint as a potential etiology of back and leg pain, but none has tested double anesthetic blocks in a prospective fashion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Sacroiliac joint ligament injury and subsequent laxity is a unifying etiology that explains how these mundane accidental injuries can result in a biomechanical disorder. [practicalpainmanagement.com]
[…] muscles of the body, but none of these have direct influence on joint motion. [8] The main function within the pelvic girdle is to provide shock absorption for the spine and to transmit forces between the upper body and the lower limbs. [9] Epidemiology/Etiology [physio-pedia.com]
In addition, NSAIDs are the first line treatment of sacroilitis with inflammatory etiologies such as ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and undifferentiated spondyloarthritis. [link.springer.com]

Prevention
Prevention Methods One of the best ways to handle your sacroiliac joint pain is through prevention entirely. [chronicbodypain.net]
In this article we go over some of the most important factors that results in SI pain, as well as ways to prevent and help manage the pain. [medisavvy.com]
These treatments can minimize the SI joint pain and prevent destruction of the joints. [medicinenet.com]
Resting the joint and discontinuing activities that cause pain, until the inflammation and pain subsides will help prevent the development of chronic pain. [stretchcoach.com]
Issues in these areas can prevent movement within the joint and cause nerve entrapments within the ligaments. Traditional therapies include rest, ice, activity modification, and anti-inflammatory medications. [drwaynewinnick.com]
