I have psoriatic arthritis. Sacroiliitis is a symptom of this. You should look up spondyloarthropathy/ies and enthesopathy of the iliac joints.

Definition By Mayo Clinic staff
Sacroiliac joints Sacroiliitis (sa-kro-il-ee-EYE-tis) is an inflammation of one or both of your sacroiliac joints, which connect your lower spine and pelvis. Sacroiliitis can cause pain in your buttocks or lower back, and may even extend down one or both legs. The pain associated with sacroiliitis is often aggravated by prolonged standing or by stair climbing. Sacroiliitis has been linked to a group of diseases called spondyloarthropathies, which cause inflammatory arthritis of the spine. Sacroiliitis can be difficult to diagnose, because it may be mistaken for other causes of low back pain. Treatment of sacroiliitis may involve a combination of rest, physical therapy and medications.

yes I have the same issues and get the injections too. They really help the most. They are not without problems as prolonged use of steroids has its issues too. I have no other choices at this time. I day /days I cannot walk at all and stay in bed too. I have been getting SI joint injections 2x as year but it is causing me some systemic problems so I will need to limit them.
