Sacroilitis and extra steriod use?

[AbdoAlien]

Hi all...I also have been diagnosed with sacroilitis and they say most likely due to crohns. The docs want me to have steroid injections, however, bit leary on that. I am not taking any internally right now, but I don't want to be pumping myself full of steroids if I can help it.And also, just in case I need to go back on them for a crohns flare.. I lie on a heating pad for hours if the SI joints are flared up, but does anyone have any suggestions for stretches or anything?...it's kinda hard where its just above my tail bone and where it's the back part of my pelvis I have a hard time stretching it out...I have to wear a lead apron all day at work, and work on cement floors all day...just wondering if anyone has any thoughts?? Thanks...

With steroid injections you don't absorb as much into your system which is why they are preferred to oral steroids.
