Just read your question. I'm not a doctor but in my opinion if the doctor you are currently seeing is not addressing your problems then you have a choice in ways to move forward. You can go the route of seeing a rhematologist. As Spondylitis does in some ways deal with arthritis.
Most likely in the hips or spine. Or you can go with the doctor I decided to go with which is a pain management specialist. They treat a lot more problems piled in together of course with emphasis on pain. So to me it depends on your level of pain at this time as to which way to go. If pain is being taken care of and you don't feel that horrible i'd go the rhematologist route. If pain is becoming more of an issue than it was then it's time for pain management. Only you know how you feel and can tell you which way to go. Take care and keep us informed as to what you do. ❤

Chiropractors only hurt spondylitis. They can make it hurt more.
