Can Nonradiographic Axial Spondyloarthritis Look Like Osteoarthritis On A MRI?
A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I’m HLA-b27 positive, at my first rheumatologist visit I was told I had AS. My MRI shows, facet inflammation and degeneration and osteoarthritis.

Wow. I also have the hla-b27 gene as well. My great grandmother had A.S. I believe my Mom said my Aunt has it as well. Plus my Mom has osteoporosis. Several people in my family have osteoporosis and RA and spinal vertibrea cancer. Crazy stuff

I think there's a lot about this family of diseases that aren't well-understood, so it wouldn't surprise me that something can look like something else.
