@A MySpondylitisTeam Member. I have one of those too. If I correctly recall my latest MRIs one is at L3. I also have a perineural cyst between the left side of my sacrum and psoas muscle, something… read more
My head is leaning forward and I can not help it. I feel like I'm leaning forward. The pain in my lower back and groin is just getting worse. i don't know what to do next.
Thank you mickcraig for posting how beneficial the stimulator has been for you. I have often wondered lately if it is something that I should consider or not.
Anyone take this?? Not a big fan of it. I think it has caused me to have some depression. Thoughts?
@A MySpondylitisTeam Member Now that I recall. Yeah, antibiotics cause me to have depression after being on them a period of time. I forgot. Its usually after taking them for a while. I think that… read more

As in little league baseball. The nerve associated with being hit with force sends pain signal soaring to brain even though never being hit.
the neighbors knocking on the door - as you scream going downstairs. Happens to me every so often. Freezing Cold packs help.. Understanding AS, the entire pelvic area gets compromised..

After battling 4 years I finally made it to PsAS remission for a few glorious days. Now "Cousin C" is breathing fetid in my ear, whispering nasty messages from the past, threatening to keep me from plans already laid for special days this Spring and Summer.

Now I am the one who also can use a few new ideas for coping and keeping my body from flaring and making the situation physically… read more

The article mentions that one of the symptoms is sometimes psoriasis, in addition to other common psoriatic arthritis symptoms such as heel pain and IBD etc. Wouldn't the correct diagnosis then be Psoriatic Spondylitis? Whats the difference when there is no evident fusion? Do treatments between the two differ?
@A MySpondylitisTeam Member. Yeah, that osteophyte wasn't in this latest MRI either. It was an xray a year ago that reported it on L3. I do have 3 bulging discs and a cyst though inside the vertebra… read more
@A MySpondylitisTeam Member. Thanks! You have a nice day.
I had a disc fusion on L4-L5 in 2017. It has alleviated the majority of infringement on my spinal column. One dr said it was grade 2, however neurisurgeon said it was more a grade 4. Very big… read more
