Rosedee,
Like you, I'd be questioning the benefit of having this done and wanting a few more opionions...

I was told for years I had probs with my SI joints in PT and seems like I got some relief around the year 2001 after having intermittant work done on this area since '92. But difficult to say given the fact I have had two discectomies and the latter one failed greatly so then had sort of a cascade of probs with DDD and disc bulges, supposed scar tissue related pain and so forth..

Keep your options open is what I would advise if not adamently necessary that you have this surgery done STAT~ more opinions if you're able to get them w/your insurance or even thru mail with reputable surgeons~
