29 yr old, female.  I am having severe sacroiliac joint pain, I believe caused by a pain management doctor.  I had pain in the back of my legs for ten yes.  For the longest time, only while sitting...no pain standing, walking, working out, etc. My P-doc thought it was tight hamstrings bc I am quite active, gym three to five days a week.  Finally I made an apt with a orthopedic, he too an xray and said it could be a bulging disc.  he referred me to a pain management doctor.  This doc said no the disc is not that bad to cause a pinched sciatica.  So he thinks it's my sacroiliac joint and sets me up for steriod shots.  I get them done and feel good for a month, the pain comes back...he set me up for a round of second shots.  I get those done and feel ok.  I went to the gym three days later....and the day after that.  The next morning I was in excruciating pain...I go see him he says it's just inflammation and to take aleve and rest....I do this for a week and the pain doesn't go away.  I go back and he sets up a mri which comes back "normal" he them gets me to do a test injection and injects it with pain killers first, has me get up and walk around. The pain was gone! then he injects it with a steriod again, a water soluble one, this was over a week ago.  I'm back to excruciating pain, i can't walk our do anything.  This pain is new, I never had this issue til the second round of shots.  I do not know what to do, I am an active person. I'm afraid this is permanent.  I go tommorow to see him again amd am refusing any shots again, I wish I never went to him.
