Costochondritis - is a thing. It can be difficult to move and even breathe. Here's a link to a good article. https://www.myspondylitisteam.com/resources/ear... Blessings - Rebecca
Is there a difference between Spondylitis Pain and Lumbar Spondylosis???
The hand pain! I have AS. I have intermittent debilitating flare-ups, and days that are tolerable. Recently my hands and shoulders have had so much pain. My neck has hurt nonstop for a few years. It… read more
The article mentions that one of the symptoms is sometimes psoriasis, in addition to other common psoriatic arthritis symptoms such as heel pain and IBD etc. Wouldn't the correct diagnosis then be Psoriatic Spondylitis? Whats the difference when there is no evident fusion? Do treatments between the two differ?
@A MySpondylitisTeam Member. Yeah, that osteophyte wasn't in this latest MRI either. It was an xray a year ago that reported it on L3. I do have 3 bulging discs and a cyst though inside the vertebra… read more
Just wondering who else has neck pain and how common it is? I already had a double fusion for Cervical Myelopathy in 2020. My neck seems to bother me more than my back. Everyday it is on fire and feels very warm. I was told I also have AS at the Occipito-Atlanto-Axial Region.
Just wondering how common of a symptom this is? Thanks.
Hi Amy, I sure do try! Hope you're having a better day!! Enjoy...!!!
Hello everyone,I was diagnosed with AS in 2019, and taking Humira. I was wondering how long others have had AS and were you taking Humira, and for how long? I'm fairly young and to read some of the cases that are worse than mine is frightening. I don't want to progress to that depth of pain. Don't get me wrong I've had some pain, but I'm curious as to how long others have lived with AS.
I was diagnosed with a rheumatoid arthritis in 2010 and in 2022 I was diagnosed with spondyloarthritis
Yes hip back shoulder and neck pain.
HI my AS warriors! I was just wondering if any of my friends here have lost your height...? I have been 6'2" since the 8th grade & always had good posture!! Now...? I am barely 4'9" tall...!!! My neck is fused & it is so very painful. I cn't see where I am going when walking, which can be very interesting ~LOL! I do my best & count each day as a blessing!! Somedays are easier than others, but ... they all suck lately. I hope y'all have a great night!!!🤔
Hi, I have lost an inch over this past year. I am not exactly tall but I do worry about these types of symptoms.
Cont../..
I carry the gene, have had uvitus, liver disease which has been diagnosed as fatty live & recently believe i have Costochindritis which are all linked to spondylitis but specialist say I don't have it because my vertebra is not fused but I do get back problems.
My Dad had this condition, sadly 😥.
Look forward to a reply.
Found out about 3 months ago I have the gene. Have been having some problems for years (unfortunately mine seems to have the gi issues with it) been having back/hip pain for the past several years… read more
I have had swollen lymph nodes in my neck for 2 months and just had another one swell up in my armpit. Just had an ultrasound and getting additional testing to find out the cause.
Thank you- I am on month 5 of cosentyx so that is good to know
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.
