In this 21st century where our life styles are so advanced that for every work we have the technologies, which make things easier. With this advancement, levels of expectations are also increased in all fields. We can say that in 21th century there is a progression in health complications too. Bottom line of this article is bilateral sacroiliitis. Many people haven't heard the name of this disease. Bilateral sacroiliitis is the inflammation of sacroiliac joints. Most of the time, people mistaken it as lower back pain. So here we are discussing the various aspects of bilateral sacroiliitis.
Sacroiliitis is defined as tenderness in the sacroiliac joints which are located in the lower spine and pelvic connects. Sacroiliac joint are the connections between spine to pelvis and lower skeleton. It results in the pain in lower back or buttocks and this pain can extend down to legs, groin and feet. Sacroiliitis is associated with various diseases like ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis and psoriatic arthritis.
Sacroiliitis is difficult to diagnose and can be assumed as lower back pain problem. So delaying in the treatment of sacroiliitis can cause the serious health complications like difficulty in breathing, lungs infections and heart complications.
Common techniques which are used to identify the sacroloitis are X- ray chromatography and (CT) computerized tomography which are helpful to diagnose the changes in the bone structure. With the use of these techniques diagnosis is delayed for many years. Whereas Single Photon Emission Computerized Tomography (SPECT) helps to find out the changes in the vascularity and joints. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) helps to reveal the invasions on cartilage and bone marrow edema which are indications of sacroilitis. These two techniques SPECT and MRI are beneficial to diagnose the sacroiliitis in the early stages.
