I am a newly diagnosed patient with Spondylosis. My condition is very advanced, considering I'm just 33 years old. I have a plethora of non pain related symptoms all day everyday in Conjunction with my pain and limited mobility. Is this considered an autoimmune disease too?
I know AS is auto-immune as i have had it since I was 20. Spondylosis is not auto-immune.
I started taking vitamin B-1 (thiamine )
100 mg twice a day
Three Days flat I had no sciatica going down my right leg
Then I am an insurance agent , so when I enrolled a friend in medicare (… read more
Is there a difference between Spondylitis Pain and Lumbar Spondylosis???
The hand pain! I have AS. I have intermittent debilitating flare-ups, and days that are tolerable. Recently my hands and shoulders have had so much pain. My neck has hurt nonstop for a few years. It… read more
The second one comes from age disease, the first one comes from systemic and genetic disease. I'm not sure but I think you might be lucky to have the one that is age related.
More frequently. I've had 3 mri's over the past 6 years and the last was 5 months ago. I'm planning on having referral sent to hospital of my choosing but I was wondering if I need a CT scan instead of mri this next time. I have rib pain, seldom abdominal pain, pain around my groin area, butt, backs of legs, feet and sometimes front of legs. Sciatica both legs but started out with right leg about 6 years ago at work.

Hi Neilt52
Probably we all hurt like that. I think it as to do with the change in the barometric pressure. Winter hurts too. I finally got rid of Aunty Flow and Uncle Arthur moved in. Ugh!!!… read more
It sucks. I have both.
My doc tried to get me in a drug trial but the mri didn’t show inflammation and hla b27 was negative so I don’t qualify. Now I’m stressed that this info will make him rethink my diagnosis. I was happy(sort of) to finally having an answer to why I’m in so much pain all the time and get on track to feeling better(sort of). His diagnosis was based on deteriorating of the si joints caught on an X-ray.
I am negative also. My doc said it doesn’t matter that much. I have AS in my neck and si joints/ lower back. All my blood work was also normal. I was misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia and now I was… read more
I was diagnosed with AS approximately 2 years ago. Have been on Humira injections twice a month , 40 Mg. The first year year it worked great but now just doesn’t help as much. Does anyone else experience reduced benefits?
So very sorry for you.m
