Patient's question:
After giving birth, I experienced a separation of the symphysis pubis and also developed sacroiliac joint arthritis. It's been almost two years since the birth, and I still feel pain in the area where my buttocks meet my thighs when I sit for a long time or walk with a load for an extended period. Could this be due to another medical condition?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this disease can be cured and will not be lifelong. Your sacroiliac arthritis belongs to rheumatoid arthritis, and the principle of treatment is early diagnosis and prompt, rational, and combined medication. Commonly used anti-rheumatic drugs are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. These drugs produce anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects quickly by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, which have a good effect on relieving pain but cannot change the course of the disease. Clinically used drugs include glucosamine hydrochloride granules, ibuprofen, penicillamine, diclofenac, aspirin, indomethacin, etc.
