I have been recently diagnosed with bilateral SI Joint Syndrome /Sacrioliiitis and Faucet Joint Syndrome. My Injury was in May of last year. My EMG was normal as well as my lumbar spine MRI scan. I have been seen by a Chiropractor, MD, and Sports Injury doctor. I have lived with much pain with very little relief of my symptoms and pain. In May I was diagnosed with a lumbosacral sprain. My symptoms included lower back pain, burning onto ride side buttock, pain in my right hip, pain into my right groin, pain then went down the right thigh . Over many months my symptoms began to hurt on the left side SI joint and spread muscle spasm up my back thoratic region. All medical documents consistently note tenderness over sacrum and SI joints. Finally after injections in these joints it was determined SI Joint Syndrome. I also had blocks in my Faucet blocks finding Faucet Joint syndrome as well. It took about 9 months to make this conclusion. I was also seen by a neurosurgeon who requested faucet blocks. Doctors at Dayton Center were able to help me find a name to my pain.
These medical diagnosis are being discredited by a single 90 minute review of my records. The reasons for this is based on the following:
1.crossing the left leg over the right while sitting
2.stooping down to pick up a purse extensively ( I'm not sure how extensive it is to pick up one's purse of a table or set in on the floor)
3.Normal gait
Is there someone who can give me a credible response to the following questions:
1. Is it possible to have a normal gait, stoop down to put down a purse and cross one's leg and still have Faucet joint Syndrome and SI joint syndrome?
2. In diagnosing Faucet Joint Syndrome and SI Joint Syndrome is it common practice upon examination to have the patient pick up a purse from a table and stoop down to put down a purse extensively, rule out findings if one ambulates well when entering the room and make an accurate diagnosis if the patient could put the left leg over right while seated?
The answer to your question is in the blog response below.
