I have had 3 lower back surgeries over the last nine years. For the last two years, or so, I have developed sharp pain in my right pelvis area, which has been diagnosed as an SI problem. On a scale of 1-10, my pain ranges from a 2-3 during the day when I am up and about, but increases to 8-10 during the night, which makes it just about impossible to get any good sleep. My doctors have tried physical therapy and steroid injections, which did not give me any relief. Also, they have tried various medications, with little or no results, and they have informed me there is nothing more they can do. I am 82 years old, which probably accounts for why they have more or less given up on me.
