Consult an: Orthopaedic Surgeon for evaluation and examination. Many at times, patients come in stating they have pain in their "hip" or "hip joints" when for a matter of fact the pain in not in their anatomic hip joint. As this word "hip" is not used in the medical sense of the word but means something different to different patients. So you need to figure out where your pain generator is by examination.

And by the way, one cannot diagnose sacroilitis with a MRI. Sacroiliitis could be one of the differential diagnosisif you are having pain in your right lower back area. A physical examination is needed to diagnose this.
