Has anyone ever tried an inversion table, does it help release the pressure of your spine?
I have an inversion table for about a year now. It provides some temporary relief by helping to stretch the spine manually. Personally I find it helpful. As a Nurse, I would caution anyone with blood… read more
Looking for some support. A brief history. I started experiencing inflammatory issues mainly in my neck around the age of 23. Took some time but we found out my father had the HLAB27 gene so was finally able to be referred to a rheumatologist around age 25 where I was diagnosed with AS. And I also have the gene. I’ve undergone many different treatments and therapies to help slow progression with Humira being the one to help the most. About a year and a half ago I began having very red eyes… read more

Anyone have recently taken methotrexate? I started 3 weeks ago for my spondylitis pain/muscle pain. My GI dr may also start me on Hunira, so just trying to see anyone’s experiences…
Did you have any side effects from enbrel? I am scheduled to start it but scared
Yes. For about a year now. I will not take narcotic medication
I have been using TeeterHangup about 12 years now and I'm pretty sure it's the only thing that has saved me from being crippled. The inversion therapy is like a blessing. I don't mind hanging upside down for a few minutes a day or a week. It's less expensive than going to get stretched on a table. Does inversion help anyone else.?
Depends on what stage you are in and other health issues that you
Maybe have. It helps a lot of people and I always recommend getting a second opinion and a 3rd if possible
I currently am using Tylenol 3 for pain. I cannot take NSAIDS. I do not want to take anything else. I already take 8 pills a day because I had a heart attack in May and really struggle with anxiety. My Rheumatologist has mentioned Biologics. I want to stay away from meds as long as I can. I do struggle with pain, sweats, IBS and so many of the other commons symptoms, but I have to try everything else first.
Thankyou richard
Hi, has anyone tried softwave therapy for AS? I have been reading about it and it is certainly not a complete solution to autoimmune based arthritis like AS, but it sounds like it can increase blood flow and reduce inflammation for some time. Maybe an alternative to steroid shots in the SI joints which I have tried. Just curious if anyone has tried it? Hope everyone is doing ok!
Ok good to know! Thank you.
I've been dealing with costocondritis since my car accident in 2016 and over the past few years it seems to be getting worse. I also have mild scoliosis in my upper thorasic, from the car accident. (Seatbelt injury) Physical therapy, side sleeping, stretching or just a wrong turn doesn't seem to help. Coughing and sneezing are the worst pains ever if I'm not ready for them

I often see that people take these meds but don't know what the names of them are so I can ask the doctors if they would help me sleep without so much pain. If you take them please can you give me the name of the medication you take and if it helps. Thank you. X
