Does anyone have osteoporosis of the spine as well as AS/ fibromyalgia/ mechanical back pain etc

Hello I am Jan from the uk I am 66 I got diagnosed at 62.
I was wondering if anyone has osteoporosis if the spine and allowed steroid injection? I haven’t had one since 2024 and I am in a battle with my rheumatologist second opinion rheumatologist about it he refuses it u do understand why but I am having flares a lot and all he says is biologics which I can’t take as the last ones left me so many chest infections and three years on chronic skin conditions and HS which my skin was fine I had no issues and very rare a spot but I have scars/ spots/ boils and tablets cause reactions stomach issues and I use Tea tree oil for my skin it’s helps but all the creams/ tablets from the NHS caused my skin to burn and stomach upsets. I have diverticulitis and IBS. I have a heart rhythm disorder from the biologics as well.
