Sacroiliitis, Buttock Pain and Back Pain: Are They Related?
Monday, November 29th, 2010You may have never heard of a condition called sacroiliitis. But if you’ve been suffering from buttock pain, or pain in your lower back, sacroiliitis may be the cause.
Sacroiliitis can be hard for your doctor to diagnose. The symptoms are much like other conditions that cause back pain, such as damage to the sciatic nerve, a herniated disk, or a pulled or strained muscle. A disease called spondyloarthropathies is also similar. Spondyloarthropathies causes inflammatory arthritis in the spine.
