Some common causes of sacroiliac (SI) joint pain include:

1. Arthritis: Wear and tear on the joint can lead to inflammation and pain.

2. Pregnancy: Hormonal changes and the added weight of a growing uterus can stress the SI joint and cause pain. 

3. Injury: Trauma or injury to the lower back can cause SI joint pain.

4. Overuse: Repetitive motions, such as those performed in certain sports, can lead to SI joint strain and pain.

5. Degeneration: As we age, the cartilage in the SI joint may deteriorate, leading to pain.

6. Structural issues: Abnormalities in the anatomy of the lower back or pelvis can cause excessive stress on the SI joint and lead to pain

   Whether you can get workers' compensation for an injury to your sacroiliac (SI) joint in Connecticut depends on the specific circumstances of your case. In general, workers' compensation is designed to provide financial support and medical benefits to employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their job.

   To be eligible for workers' compensation in Connecticut, you must be able to demonstrate that your SI joint injury was caused by your job duties, or that it occurred while you were performing work-related activities. Additionally, your employer must be covered by workers' compensation insurance, and you must have reported the injury to your employer within a specified time frame.

   If you believe that you are eligible for workers' compensation for your SI joint injury, it is important to seek the advice of an experienced workers' compensation attorney. An attorney can help you understand your rights and assist you in filing a claim with the Connecticut Workers' Compensation Commission.
