SI Joint Flare-up?

 Lower back had been tight.  Some aches along the spine.  Stretched some and did some upper body twists to loosen lower back tightness.  That night I wake up with hip pain on both sides and ache on SI joint.   I think that's what it is, it's the area where the spine connects to the pelvis.  Flare-up can be caused the repetitive twist motion (golfers) so I think that's what caused it.  Pain can radiate down butt, leg, hips.  Putting Salonpas on it for now, seems to be getting a little better.  Just need to remember for next time.  This area gets tighter with age so as with most things, exercise, stretching, avoiding sugar seems to keep it in check.
