My doctor said my pain around my si joint is most probley due to inflammation, how long does it take for this to heal? should i rest or keep on the go

Dr. Qamar Khan answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Few Days to Weeks: If the si joint is not better after a few weeks of conservative care/stretching and strengthening the muscles and ligaments, i would see a musculoskeletal/spine specialist to see if you need any other treatments like a cortisone injection or even prolotherapy to strengthen the ligaments.

Dr Fowler and 2 doctors agreed
