Article Synopsis
- Stress fractures in the sacrum and mechanical sacroiliac joint disease can occur not just during pregnancy but also after childbirth, often leading to misdiagnosis in women with low back pain.
- A 37-year-old woman experienced persistent low back and buttock pain following her pregnancy, prompting a thorough investigation that revealed a postpartum sacral stress fracture alongside mechanical sacroiliac joint disease.
- The patient was treated with pain relief and a three-month nonweight-bearing regimen, resulting in complete relief of symptoms and a return to normal activities, highlighting the importance of recognizing these conditions for timely treatment.
