What Could Cause Upper Buttock Pain Around Sacroiliac Joint?

Hello, I have had upper buttock pain around the sacroiliac joint for 2 years - right side. I also have pain in my right calf and the outer side of my right foot. I have seen various health professionals and had 2 MRIs plus other scans and x-Rays..... Everything normal. I am now seeing a chiro who thinks that it is a sacroiliac problem with trigger points in the surrounding muscles. Question... Could a problem with the sacroiliac joint and trigger points affect the sural nerve thereby causing localized pain AS WELL AS pain in my foot?

highly unlikely
you probably have both sacroiliac problem along with L4/5 problem
to make sure try walking in a fast pace for 5 min if u have sacroiliac problem your pain should decrease gradually till it fades away
also your leg pain should increase
(simple test to confirm my opinion)
