“Why is my sacroiliac joint swollen?”
I am a 25 year old female. I woke up one morning unable to walk because of the shooting pain in my hip. Why is my sacroiliac joint swollen, and why could it be hurting? Should I see a doctor?

It is hard to know exactly which structure is enlarged. I would say going to the doctor is worthwhile if the pain persists or you develop a fever. Most of the time acute swelling is related to muscle contraction. For more information about back pain go to the spine community.com
There are probably several causes for your problem. It would be wise to see your primary care physician.
