A member asked:
Shouldn't the doctors (orthopedic & mds) be able to see i have pubis shearing & sacroiliac dysfunction on my xray and mris?

Not necessarily: These are general diagnoses that have little description as to the pathology that is occurring. An x-ray can occasionally identify pubic fragmentation in chronic osteitis pubis or sclerosis in si arthritis, but their absence doesn't mean that it's not there. An MRI is more sensitive and is good at picking up acute inflammation, but relatively poor in chronic situations of inflammation.
