It sounds like you're experiencing significant discomfort in your sacroiliac joints. While the context provided doesn't specifically mention sacroiliac joint pain in relation to rheumatoid arthritis (RA), it's important to note that RA can affect various joints in the body, including those in the lower back and hips, which might indirectly impact the sacroiliac area due to altered gait or compensatory movements. People with RA often report pain in multiple areas, including the hips and lower back, which could suggest a connection to your symptoms. It's crucial to discuss these symptoms with your healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis and to explore treatment options tailored to your specific needs. They might recommend imaging tests like MRI or CT scans to get a clearer picture of what's happening in your sacroiliac joints.

Yes! I can sympathize with you. Mine is lumbar/sacral due to herniated disc at the junction of the two discs. It’s excruciating the last few weeks. I hope you get some relief soon and I’m sorry you’re hurting. Tomorrow will be a better day 🙂
