Does Anyone Else Have Spinal Stenosis And Resulting Leg Numbness/pain/weakness When Walking?
A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone else have spinal stenosis and resulting leg numbness/pain/weakness when walking? I’ve had stenosis affecting my walking to some degree since I was 26. I keep hearing I’m “too young,” so I’m just curious if others on here experience it as well.

How Do You Deal With Loneliness?
A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭

My "friends" dropped me after my diagnosis and I couldn't be spontaneous with activities. I can't work and have no friends to even TRY to do things with. Does anyone else experience this?

I Have These Strange Red Dots That Have Been Coming Up On My Skin, Anyone Have Any Idea What They Could Be
A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭

They don't itch or hurt and disappear after a while but then appear again somewhere else. I have looked on Google but nothing seems to match. Some of them are quite large and others not quite as big as a frozen garden pea. I am worried in case it's a sign of something wrong with me, more than that I have already. Any ideas welcome?

A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I often see that people take these meds but don't know what the names of them are so I can ask the doctors if they would help me sleep without so much pain. If you take them please can you give me the name of the medication you take and if it helps. Thank you. X
