A member asked:

Can sacroiliac joint sclerosis cause pinching of the l4-l5, s1-s2 nerves?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No: The sacroiliac joint is ligamentously very closed and stable. But if the inflammation is severe enough it can irritate elements of the sciatic nerve which is nearby. a sclerotic sacroiliac joint is very important in the diagnosis of arthritic diseases

Not usually: But do you have Piriformis Syndrome, which could result in peripheral sciatica? Visit an osteopathic specialist, and get this both diagnosed and treated.
