I am a newly diagnosed patient with Spondylosis. My condition is very advanced, considering I'm just 33 years old. I have a plethora of non pain related symptoms all day everyday in Conjunction with my pain and limited mobility. Is this considered an autoimmune disease too?
I know AS is auto-immune as i have had it since I was 20. Spondylosis is not auto-immune.
I started taking vitamin B-1 (thiamine )
100 mg twice a day
Three Days flat I had no sciatica going down my right leg
Then I am an insurance agent , so when I enrolled a friend in medicare (… read more
The second one comes from age disease, the first one comes from systemic and genetic disease. I'm not sure but I think you might be lucky to have the one that is age related.
Is there a difference between Spondylitis Pain and Lumbar Spondylosis???

I have to go every 3 months for check up and bloodwork.
I am wondering if spondylitis causes pain throughout spine. I have trouble in neck, between shoulder blades, just above hips, and lower back. I also have arthritis in ribs and sternum and sometimes develop some mean costochondritis pain. I dont know if its all on account of spondylitis.
Scope 220 I’m sure that’s part of it in my case but I have been told I have a nerve disorder and my back has 4 herniated disc’s /spinal stenosis/narrowing of the spinal column left side sciatica I… read more
Prayers for you and your family and I hope you feel better soon. I hope your surgery went well. I have a lot of the same things wrong with me like you do. I take it one day of time.
I hope this isn't a stupid question. My MRI shows my entire neck has Spondylosis. I'm fixing to undergo my 2nd cervical fusion and it will be a double fusion.Is there a difference in Spondylosis & AK Spondylosis?

My doc tried to get me in a drug trial but the mri didn’t show inflammation and hla b27 was negative so I don’t qualify. Now I’m stressed that this info will make him rethink my diagnosis. I was happy(sort of) to finally having an answer to why I’m in so much pain all the time and get on track to feeling better(sort of). His diagnosis was based on deteriorating of the si joints caught on an X-ray.
I am negative also. My doc said it doesn’t matter that much. I have AS in my neck and si joints/ lower back. All my blood work was also normal. I was misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia and now I was… read more
The suffixes are different; "itis" means inflammation and "osis" means condition.
I just had my 3rd spinal fusion and a lot of things. My surgeon said I would benefit from rehabilitation. The ambulance transferred me to mount Sinia hospital rehab. What a blessing. Everyone was so… read more
