See details: You need to provide greater details. Your list of meds suggest you are being treated for inflammatory bowel disease as well. Sacroiliitis is often related to ibd but will not likely respond to your current meds. Remicade (infliximab) or Humira should provide greater relief. Speak with the GI doctor.

Steroid injection: Sacroilitis is inflammation of the joint between your spine and hip bones. This may cause low back pain, typically one sided and worse on siting. You received what sounds like a sacroiliac joint steroid injection, which is intended to decrease the inflammation in the joint and, in so doing, decrease the pain you experience. Sometimes, more than one injection is required to achieve max benefit.
