Symptoms of bilateral sacroiliitis
Disease description:
During this period, I've been experiencing joint stiffness upon waking in the morning, which usually eases after a while. However, today the stiffness hasn't improved at all. After consulting a doctor, I was diagnosed with sacroiliitis. I would like to learn about the symptoms of bilateral sacroiliitis.

Bilateral sacroiliitis is usually accompanied by pain and morning stiffness. Initially, the pain may be mild and does not affect walking or physical activity, although it might worsen after activity and ease with rest. As the condition progresses, the muscles surrounding the joints become damaged during sleep, reducing the joint's protective function. Poor joint surface congruence, muscle spasms and contractions, joint capsule contraction, and bone spurs may lead to mechanical limitations and functional impairment.
