Have you seen a doctor about this. I did a
search and could not find anything. If you
did go to the doctor then I am really
ticked off. He/she should have spent the
time to tell you in laymans terms exactly
what it is you have. If it were me (and I
have done this on mumorus occasions) call
back and demand a diagnosis and find out
with the heck it is that you have. The
ilium, if I am not mistaken is somewhere
between you back bone and you hip. I did
read somewhere that is may have something
to do with arthritis.

ilium upslip is a type of sacroiliac joint
dysfunction. The ilium are the large
pelvic bones that form the hip joint with
the the top of the femur (thigh bone) you
were right MsCarrie. The bottom of your
spine sits on the top of your sacrum and
both the Illa are attached to either side
of the sacrum, the whole lot (sacrum and
two Illa) form the entire pelvis. The two
joints between the sacrum and ilia are
called the sacroiliac joints, and there is
a small degree of movement in these
joints. Ilium upslip is when is when the
sacrum slips down on the ilium so the the
two bones are not sitting snugly together
like they should be.
there are many other types of sacroiliac
joint dysfunction many researchers think
that they are quite common and can be the
cause of back pain chiro's osteopaths and
physical therapist often diagnose and
treat these disorders how ever doctors
generally do not recognise them and some
refute their existence.
