What Causes Pain In The Hips And Buttocks?

Hi I had an MRI last Friday. I havent had any results as yet and wondering how much it will cost to get my MRI looked at online? I have sacroiliacs with sciatic symptoms in my calf and toes. The MRI was to see if I had any disc problems and nerve damage. I had an SI cortisone injection 9 days ago and it has helped but I am not pain free and I am still getting pain especially when I roll over in bed in my hip buttocks area. I have had these symptoms for nearly 7 week now. Carolyn

Hi

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that you can upload your MRI images on this site as a prepaid question for a second professional opinion. Considering your symptoms, I would recommend starting Amitriptyline or Pregabaline to help improve your situation. Considering the steroid injection, I would recommend trying to be more patient, because some more days may be needed to feel better.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
