Hello to all my fellow back pain buddies. It's been awhile since I posted I just want to share some info with you guys and gals to see what you think about my ortho doc's findings. At my visit he reviewed my myelogram and found some abnormaladies in the pelvic area and he says it's could be from the weight of the intsrumentation that was put in my spine. It showed what he called " gas in the sacroilliac joints and said it is consisent w/ sacroilliac degeneration" Is anyone familiar with this? He showed me a printout of my pelvis area that he was talking about and it looked like two cracks on both sides of pelvis to me. The second thing out of his mouth was surgery to pull the area back together and there would be a 50% chance of it getting rid of the pain.

I tell you it always the ultimate questions at the end of conversations like this with a doctor. He wants me to take another MRI of the Lurabar and Pelvis to rule out adjacent segment degeneration and to rule out sacroilliac arthritis. Any and all comments are greatly welcome I can use all the opinions I can get at this point
