A member asked:
Can there be permanent damage to your si joint?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Some forms of arthritis do attack the sacroiliac (si) joints, and this damage can be permanent. For most people, however, even a complete fusion of the si joints does not lead to a meaningful loss of mobility.
