Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Lin Yunfei
Sacroiliac joint arthritis causes pain and morning stiffness when it occurs. As the condition worsens, the pain gradually intensifies. Therefore, before treating sacroiliac joint arthritis, it is important to learn proper preventive measures to avoid triggering other bone-related diseases. If the pain is relatively severe, treatment can be carried out using medications or physical therapy. For intense pain symptoms, analgesics such as ibuprofen or indomethacin may be taken. However, these should not be used for prolonged periods to prevent dependency.
