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.

Hi there! Is there something I can help you find on our community's website? Warmly, Kathy (Team member)
Yes, by cat scan
Ankylosing Spondylitis.
Lately I have a lot of pain in both hips which sent me to the emergency room ,urgent care and
to see my primary doctor. All this, and after much testing, I received pain pills!
I’m getting through the days. I feel better and able to be more productive in my life.I hope you receive a diagnosis quickly, so you can be treated properly. All the best, Kathy (Team member) I am having hip and pelvis pain. Going for MRI in two days, can’t control pain.
Takes some time for ortho to drill down on issue for a diagnosis.
