What are the symptoms of bilateral sacroiliitis?

Morning stiffness means that after getting up every morning, you feel that the sacroiliac joints on both sides are relatively stiff. This usually lasts for about 30 minutes. The symptoms will be significantly relieved after appropriate activities. The lumbar sacral area is not easy to move. This is mainly because the pain is aggravated during activities after pain stimulation, and joint contracture and ossification ankylosis may occur, affecting the normal movement of the joints. Joint movement may be limited by pain, and you may wake up in pain due to the difficulty of turning over during sleep. It may also gradually radiate to the buttocks, groin area and lower limbs, causing pain similar to sciatic nerve, and may be accompanied by morning stiffness. Bilateral sacroiliitis is a branch of osteoarthritis. Most sacroiliitis is not a separate disease, but is caused by other diseases.

There are many specific causes of sacroiliitis. Only by making a specific diagnosis and symptomatic treatment based on the cause of the disease can the effect of treatment be determined. Secondary sacroiliitis is mainly treated for the cause.
