Femoral Bone Marrow Lesions?
A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Are chondroid lesions within the bone marrow of the femur typical for Spondylitis sufferers? I have one almost a full cm in length in my upper femur close to the hip joint. My orthopedic surgeon didn't point it out and I read online that it's not uncommon, rarely cancerous. I saw it on my MRI and it's mentioned in the Radiologist report. I'm wondering if it's a typical symptom of Spondylitis.
