Has Anyone Had A Discogram Done Recently.
Has Anyone Had A Discogram Done Recently.
The Doctor is getting me set up to have a Discogram. I cannot have an MRI due to the fact i have bi- laterial cochlear implants. Has any one had this done recently. And any after effect after this. I am going surgery in near future. Pain has become so bad. Its made my life miserable. I want my life back.
Any recommendations on this or surgery is much appreciated

Newly Diagnosed And Want To Know What Is And Isn’t Related To The AS?
Newly Diagnosed And Want To Know What Is And Isn’t Related To The AS?
I’ve read through several Q&A and don’t see info on some of my abnormalities. Anyone have easy or unexplained bruises all over you? Extreme sensitivity to tempatures? When feet are swollen they turn purple-redish color? My SI joints hurt but recently while I’m trying to exercise or sit my tailbone hurts, anyone else? Just trying to assure myself my rheumotogist is on the right track. Thank you
Yes! My tailbone hurts occasionally when I sit down, and I’ve developed carpal tunnel pain in both hands and arms.

Has Anyone Had Acid Refux So Bad They Required Surgery ?
I am having a Fundoplication surgery on Friday and am wondering if this has gotten so bad for others that they have had the same surgery and what the outcome was? I am slightly concerned that it is being caused by my AS and Fybro and that even after surgery I may still have the issue. Have others gone through the same with medications failing and no other option other than having this done. Thanks

Looking For Recommended Physiotherapist For AS
Looking For Recommended Physiotherapist For AS
Is anyone knows one? I'm based in Toronto Ontario, Canada.
I have AS since 2000 and was diagnose only in 2008.
I took in the past some pain-killers and worked with physiotherapists.
I stopped with the medications and the physiotherapists weren't a good fit, mainly because of there lack of knowledge.
Thanks and best,
Eyal.
