Shane I have had a stuffed back for years, but in recent months it has got worse, Had the lower area x-ray'd a fortnight ago, now got scoliosis, and that is when the arthritis showed with fused vertebrae. It is a real mess, so my GP is suggesting I get an MRI and take it from there. Currently the pain is 100% coming from the Sacroiliac area, so I need things narrowed down so that some form of "treatment" can be organised. If I were a horse, I would have been put down, that is for sure.
