  Sacroiliitis is inflammation of the sacroiliac joint (SI), the joint that connects the ilium to the sacrum. The SI joint is one of the largest joints in the body and is a common source of gluteal and lower back pain. […] Sacroiliitis commonly presents as lower back pain. The pain presentation varies greatly, and patients could describe pain in one or both buttocks, hip pain, thigh pain, or even pain more distal. Patients may report that their pain is worse after sitting for prolonged periods or with rotational movements. Characterization of pain also varies widely and is commonly described as sharp and stabbing but can also be described as dull and achy. […] The likelihood of SI joint mediated pain increases as the number of positive-provocative tests increase. […] The majority of patients with sacroiliitis have an excellent outcome. However, the recovery may take 2-4 weeks. Recurrences are common if patients do not change their lifestyle. Some series report a recurrence rate of over 30%.

  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21622969/

  Objective: To assess the progression of radiographic sacroiliitis in a cohort of patients with early axial spondyloarthritis over a period of 2 years and to explore predictors of progression. […] Results: 115 patients (54.8%) fulfilled the modified New York criteria for AS in their radiographic part in the opinion of both readers at baseline, while 95 patients (45.2%) were classified as non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis. More patients with non-radiographic spondyloarthritis (10.5%) compared with AS (4.4%) showed an estimated 'true’ progression by at least one grade according to both readers, although the difference between the two groups was statistically non-significant. The rate of progression from non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis to AS was 11.6% over 2 years. An elevated level of C-reactive protein (CRP) at baseline was a strong positive predictor of radiographic sacroiliitis progression in non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis and AS (OR 3.65 and 5.08, respectively, p0.05). […] Conclusion: Progression of radiographic sacroiliitis by at least one grade after 2 years occurs only in a small percentage of patients with early axial spondyloarthritis.

  Physical examination of the SIJ includes joint palpation and provocation tests aimed to induce pain while stressing the SIJ. […] Traditionally, imaging of the SIJ starts with a roentgenogram (X-ray). However, changes of the SIJ seen on X-ray films are not sensitive or specific enough, at least in the early stages of sacroiliitis. […] MRI of the SIJs and of the spine has revolutionized diagnosis of early SpA. With its high contrast resolution, it is able to detect inflammation of the joints in its early stage before structural damage occurs. […] A clinician always feels more comfortable when the diagnosis, particularly the diagnosis of a condition where no unequivocal physical examination or laboratory test exists, will be confirmed by imaging. Sacroiliitis is a good example. Physical examination of a patient with sacroiliitis is never 100% diagnostic, as every manifestation of sacroiliitis can be mimicked by other pelvic or low back diseases.

• #1 What Is the Difference Between Sciatica & Sacroiliitis? | Dr. Atallah

  https://www.modernpainhouston.com/sciatica-and-sacroiliitis

  Sacroiliitis does not cause sciatica, but it can lead to symptoms that are very similar to that of sciatica. […] The pain is likely to feel somewhat similar, simply displaying as lower back pain. […] It should be noted that it is possible to have both sciatica and sacroiliitis at the same time. […] When experiencing pain due to sciatica, the placement of where the nerves extending from the spine are likely being pinched is very close to the SI joint. […] It is common for those with sacroiliitis to experience sensations of weakness or numbing in the affected area, similar to what is experienced with sciatica, but these sensations are not caused by compressed nerves in cases of sacroiliitis, more so caused by irritation to the nerves. […] Sacroiliitis is less commonly diagnosed due to this fact but ends up being the cause of anywhere from 10-25% of the cases of lower back pain.

  Patients with SI joint dysfunction may present with pain that is localized to the area at or just inferomedial to the posterior superior iliac spine as demonstrated in a Fortin finger test or along the gluteal area, lateral hip, lower extremities, and groin. […] Potential aggravating factors and activities that may exacerbate pain from SI joint dysfunction are described in Table 2. […] SI joint dysfunction may be attributed to a variety of causes. Traumatic onset commonly occurs with heavy lifting, a fall onto the buttocks, and motor vehicle collisions. A more insidious onset can be caused by recreational activities with repeated weight bearing and shear or torsional forces experienced during sports such as football, gymnastics, and golfing. […] When individual provocation tests for SI joint dysfunction are used in isolation, they have poor sensitivity and specificity.

  Physical examination of the SIJ includes joint palpation and provocation tests aimed to induce pain while stressing the SIJ. […] Traditionally, imaging of the SIJ starts with a roentgenogram (X-ray). However, changes of the SIJ seen on X-ray films are not sensitive or specific enough, at least in the early stages of sacroiliitis. […] MRI of the SIJs and of the spine has revolutionized diagnosis of early SpA. With its high contrast resolution, it is able to detect inflammation of the joints in its early stage before structural damage occurs. […] A clinician always feels more comfortable when the diagnosis, particularly the diagnosis of a condition where no unequivocal physical examination or laboratory test exists, will be confirmed by imaging. Sacroiliitis is a good example. Physical examination of a patient with sacroiliitis is never 100% diagnostic, as every manifestation of sacroiliitis can be mimicked by other pelvic or low back diseases.
