How To Get An Official Diagnosis
A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi! I have been diagnosed with spondylolisthesis grade 1 at L5/S1. Recent X-ray showed spondylosis. I am wondering if it is infact spondylitis because it seems to flare. How can I go about getting a diagnosis? What questions should I be asking so I can advocate for myself? Did you ask your GP or rheumatologist?

It’s worse at rest. Night time is hard because I can’t stay comfortable.

Definitely your rheumatologist is the pain worse when you rest better when you move around let them know all issues your having
