@A MySpondylitisTeam Member. Yes, everywhere. Being nontadiographic is excellent news, theres time for you to do something about it before it gets overwhelming. And there are lots of things you can do to turn it all around that do not involve side affect laden meds or invasive procedures like surgery.

Yes, nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) can affect areas beyond the sacroiliac joints. It may cause inflammation in other joints, such as the hips, shoulders, or knees, and lead to enthesitis (inflammation where tendons and ligaments attach to bones). Other areas like the eyes, heart, and digestive system Show Full Answer

Yes, nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) can affect areas beyond the sacroiliac joints. It may cause inflammation in other joints, such as the hips, shoulders, or knees, and lead to enthesitis (inflammation where tendons and ligaments attach to bones). Other areas like the eyes, heart, and digestive system can also be affected. Symptoms like fatigue, stiffness, and pain in various regions are common. Always consult your doctor for personalized advice.
