Has anyone here had any issues with their SI joint after having fusion surgery?
I had an appt w/my surgeon last week for my 2 year post op and told him about some pain I've been having in the back of my right hip. It started when I was 3 months pregnant and increased after delivering the baby when I was just 5 months along (she didn't survive). The PA did some tests and concluded that the pain is most likely due to my SI joint and she said it should clear up in a few months.
I have read that later on in pregnancy, the SI joint, which does not normally move, usually opens to allow for the widening of the hips, etc for delivery. I'm wondering if while in labor, my body went through the process of opening the SI joint and that's what pain is from or if it could be from my body adjusting to it's new shape and new balance of weight since my surgery in Feb 2005.
Any information would be appreciated.
