Has anyone that has had PNE surgery had steroid injections into the area where the ligaments were?
Has anyone been told they now have arthritis in the entire surgical area?

Are you talking about the area near the ischial spine where the ST ligament was cut? I don't think I had any post-op steroids there -- just some prolotherapy/steroid injections into the sacroiliac ligaments. I didn't have my ST ligaments severed though -- just the SS ligaments. They were already hardened and scloerosed at the time. I don't know if that would be considered a form of arthritis. I think with arthritis it is really important to keep moving. Maybe something low impact like water walking would be helpful for you.
