[quote="uprightdoc"]Dania, Calcification is the opposite of joint instability. It means that your left sacroiliac joint is calcifying (fusing). It's most likely due to the chronic inflammation.

Dr F on a x ray it showed calcification on my left pelvis Can anything be done?

" An MRI of the cervical spine is recommended in all patients suspected of having MS who have symptoms suggestive of spinal cord involvement"
