Symptoms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The most common symptom of sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction is pain. Patients often experience pain in the area of the sacrum (tail bone), upper buttocks, upper thigh, or upper groin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pain can lead to issues with sleeping, sitting, and walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pain typically worsens with standing and walking, while less severe when lying down. Swelling and arthritis in the SI joint can also cause pain and stiffness in the pelvis.
