I wish I could find spine surgeons all over the world who will embrace the diagnosis of SI joint dysfunction. Unfortunately, I cannot. While I have handled about 1,000 cases now and have dealt with many dozens of surgeons, I only know one doctor who specializes in this. Search this forum for what I have written about Dr. John Stark in Minneapolis. It's stupid to suggest traveling across the country for something we should be able to get in any major city.... but all of the other surgeons I know will literally scoff at the suggestion.
Having said that, CindyLou cancelled her hip replacement after seeing Dr. Stark. Her SI surgery resolved the hip pain that would NOT have been resolved by the planned hip replacement. I'll bump those stories to the top.
Good luck! All the best,
Mark
