How Can Sacroiliitis And Arthritis In The Lower Back Be Treated?

Hi, I have sacroiliitis and arthritis in several joints in lower back. There is also some numbness in both big toes, on the outside of the toes. I don t do well with harsh drugs and steroid injections no longer seem to work for the sacroiliitis. What do you suggest.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

What's your age? I think you are having ankylosing spondylitis with S1 root compression. This condition should be treated with pain killers, decompression and other modalities according to orthopedics suggestion.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
