SI joint injections

Bring the questions that matter to you to your next appointment.

• What makes you think my pain may be coming from the SI joint?
• Is this injection a test, a treatment, or both?
• Which kind of imaging will you use to guide it?
• What should I do about my blood thinner, diabetes medicine, or other medicines before and after?
• How will we judge whether it worked, and what happens next either way?
• How many injections would you consider, and how far apart?
• What else should I be doing, like physical therapy or exercise, alongside this?
• Who do I call if I have a fever, severe pain, or weakness that does not wear off?
