Sacroiliitis B/L with Low back pain , is generally due to Ankylosing spondylosis. In Ankylosing Spondylosis, earliest changes are seen in lower part of SI joint, especially on the iliac side as erosions ,followed by sclerosis. However the complete picture takes time to develop - many years .
One Blood Test - HLA-B27 is also required to substantiate the diagnosis. It is positive in about 85% cases.
