sacroiliac
Lower back joint
Sacroiliac refers to the joint where the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of the spine) meets the ilium (the large pelvic bone).
The term usually appears in medical contexts describing pain or dysfunction in this area: sacroiliac joint, sacroiliac strain.
My sacroiliac has been acting up since the fall.
