Are you diagnosed with AS or AxSpa?
There are 2 types of axSpA: radiographic and non-radiographic.
Radiographic axSpA (r-axSpA or AS)
In radiographic axSpA, inflammation, and bone damage are visible on X-rays. This is most commonly called ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
Non-radiographic axSpA (nr-axSpA)
When inflammation and bone damage are not seen on an X-rays, the condition is called non-radiographic axSpA.

Thanks for sharing your journey here with spondyloarthritis. It's good to hear you manage to continue professional work and social obligations. Many times those who find an increase in pain use NSAIDs to help manage. It's great to know they help. Cold weather is definitely a well-noted trigger for many trying to manage this chronic inflammatory disease. Wishing you the best as the new year moves forward. Rebecca (Team member)

No but in 2018 I was diagnosed with Spondylitis without Myleopathy or radiculopathy lumbar region.
so sorry to hear you are having issues with your spine. How are you managing the spondylitis? Are you having issues with ambulation due to the lumbar area being affected? I hope you find relief and that you can get about easier in the days ahead. Thanks for sharing. Rebecca (team member)
