Half of what people call “disc pain” is not the disc at all.
A massively overlooked culprit?
👉 The SI joint — a small joint in the pelvis that mimics back pain perfectly.
Red flags that your pain might actually be SI joint pain:
1️⃣ Hurts when standing up from a chair
2️⃣ Better when lying flat
3️⃣ Pain is low, near the buttock—not mid-back
4️⃣ MRI looks “normal”
5️⃣ Nothing ever quite adds up
The SI joint is sneaky.
It fools people for years.
It sends patients to the wrong doctors.
But once diagnosed correctly → it’s treatable.
👉 If your MRI was normal but the pain is real, this might be your answer.
Comment “SI” if you want a simple explanation video.
