What Is Sacroiliac Joint Pain?

Common symptoms include:
- Pain on one side of the lower back
- Buttock, hip, groin, or thigh pain
- Stiffness and limited mobility
- Pain when standing from a seated position
- Discomfort while climbing stairs
- Pain after prolonged sitting or standing

No. Sacroiliac joint pain begins in the joint connecting the spine and pelvis. Sciatica results from irritation of the sciatic nerve. Because their symptoms can overlap, a proper evaluation is important.
Diagnosis may include a medical history, physical examination, movement tests, and imaging. An image-guided diagnostic injection may help confirm the sacroiliac joint as the source of pain.
Sacroiliac joint injections may reduce inflammation and provide temporary pain relief. They may also help confirm whether the joint is causing the symptoms.
