The only other procedure I had to rule anything out was SI Joint injections. I had these because I was EXTREMELY sensitive when the OS & Pain Mgmt. docs pressed on my SI Joints. I even swung around & almost knocked 1 doc out AFTER the injection because it hurt so much.
You should speak to your doctor about this though to see if these injections are even needed in your case. I can tell you first hand that they hurt like a bugger!
