My rhuemy knows of the spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, bony islands, RA but not AS. I'm in a flare right now...the pain was just in my back but it has wrapped around my rib cage. When I breathe in deeply my spine cracks, should I be concerned about that? I'm using heat and ice as well as small pieces of oxy and Advil.
When I started PT, because my si on my right side was hypermobile, they taught me to strengthen the muscles around the joint in order to lessen the issue. I would think the same advice would apply to… read more

Did Duloxetine help your pain? Just wondering. I'm on it and I feel like it helps more than any other med I've been on. I still struggle with pain every day though.
Does anyone know what is available out there for pain that isn't a NSAID since I can't take them because of my Crohn's disease and that I'm on a blood thinner and Tylenol doesn't help with any of the pain?
Went to ER today and they gave me prednisone 20mg 2 1x day for 5 days and Methocrabamol 750mg every 4 hours as needed
My dr appointment was moved to this Wednesday from next week Wednesday so… read more

I’d like to ask if anyone has ever seen a chiropractor for pain associated with AS? I’ve been to one 3 times now. My cervical spine is so stiff & has worsen over the last year & a half. I don’t have the natural curve in my neck, so my neurosurgeon suggested having massages, which has lead to adjustments at my chiropractor. Before I go further with him, should I be allowing him to pop or adjust my neck?? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
