Can Spondylitis Begin In Cervical Spine, Before Affecting SI Joints & Lumbar Spine?
A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have yet to be diagnosed with Spondylitis, with having 2 painful SI joints, lower back & neck pain/stiffness, bad
shoulders & knees, & IBS. Neck pain began in 40s & rest in my 60s. I tested positive for an autoimmune disease, but Dr rules out Spondylitis, due to late onset of symptoms. Diagnoses include osteo-arthritis, spinal stenosis, fibromyalgia, scoliosis. I am now 75 & in much pain every day all day.
