I have sacralization in the 5th lumbar vertebra, I am 39 yrs old and found this out when I was around 15. I have always had low back pain but over the last 10 yrs it is getting intolerable and the pain is in both hips now as well. Everything I read , really says that this condition wouldnt really cause pain. I do have slight spondliosis (sp) my last mri was 2 yrs ago. I guess Im just wondering why I have so much pain if this is a condition that you are born with and I havent really read anything that justifies the pain with the condition???
