SIJ: Earlies twenties female with back pain radiating to buttock 9 months after delivery & epidural should be evaluated for disorder of sacroiliac joint (sij). I have seen same pain pattern in several women with epidurals preceding severe chronic low back & pelvic pain of sij disorder. My speculation: absent proprioceptive-driven guarding the pelvic ligaments were injured during the birthing process.
