A member asked:
How long can it take for a ligament in your sacroiliac joint to heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Within several weeks: Ligaments can heal depending on their location and function as well as degree of injury but the time is up to 6 weeks. A ligament injury in this area is rare as an isolated injury unless there has been significant injury or trauma to the pelvis. When the sacroiliac joint is involved, there can be development of arthritis which can lead to pain or eventual fusion of that joint.
