Abstract
Spinal arthritis leads to inflammation of the facet joints in the spine or sacroiliac joints between the spine and pelvis. It causes stiffness and low back pain upon waking up in the morning. Fluid built up in the joint due to inactivity overnight causes more swelling. Pain is mostly > 80% - in the back, runs into the buttocks, and often really feels like it’s in the hip. As it gets even worse people will feel burning on the outer aspect of the thigh, and sometimes pain down the leg and nerve root pain some times.
