“Since the major affected joint is the sacroiliac...)

Just wondering if your doctor checked you for ankylosing spondylitis. Sacroiliac problems are indicators of that disease.

Thank you for the concern. I believe my osteoarthritis may have been caused by untreated scoliosis putting pressure on the joint. Kids are screened for that, but somehow, I wasn't diagnosed until well into adulthood.
