How old are you? This may be sacroiliitis. It can be diagnosed with an MRI scan.

I’m 44. Interesting idea. My pain is top of the back hips. But could be. It doesn’t sound like it’s treated any differently than arthritis or random joint pain? Is it worth getting diagnosed?

I'm not an expert but I think there are specific treatments depending on the cause.

> Is it worth getting diagnosed?

I guess that's a balance against the time and money it will cost you to get a diagnosis vs the benefit. Where I live, cost would be about 3-5 hours and $300-1000 in consultations, blood tests and scans if you're not insured.

Benefits are: being able to halt ongoing joint degradation, preventing or quickly reacting to more impactful flare-ups, making better long-term choices in exercise, diet etc.

But it may be unrelated!

been on an elimination diet for a while, because if I'm not, I get depression and suicidal ideation. I don't have a diagnosis for arthritis, but I'm testing around a lot and maybe this info helps you in your journey: I make gelatine from pig's feet occasionally, when I make it with just salt and some lemon or vinegar, I don't have problems. Last time I thought, maybe try bell pepper, haven't tried for a while and I s…

> I make gelatine from pig's feet occasionally, when I make it with just salt and some lemon or vinegar, I don't have problems. Very interesting. Have you tried consuming beef liver to see if that helps? I was able to completely stop my VitD supplements after consuming liver.

yes, I eat liver sometimes - it's not appealing most of the times

More paywalled content being posted to HN? Ugh. https://archive.ph/Cwtq3

... so, the day after you asked me why I thought you didn't read the FAQ, you did the exact thing the FAQ asks you not to do?

Yeah, I don't feel so bad for assuming.

Yes, I asked again after you tried to derail the conversation away from why paywalled content is allowed. It's also bizzare you've taken to stalking my comments over it too that are over a week old.

The timeline is that you replied 4 days ago to the original thread, then 3 days later continue to try enage in arguments with me in another thread. Did you spend those three days festeringly mad and couldn't help but go in for round three?

If I made sure every paywalled link posted here had a paywall workaround linked in the comments, would that make you more mad? The FAQ says those links are allowed, but what are your personal feelings on it?
