I have had a bad spine since my early 20's. It has been going down hill ever since. My story is long and complicated. I am in my early 60's. It's been 10 years since I've been to a rheumatologist but I finally saw one last week and am waiting on my x-ray report and labs. I have been very discouraged with all the doctors I have seen over the years and very few real answers. The rheumatologist I just saw mentioned axial spondylarthritis SP? I do have my x-ray cd but no report yet. I can share the images if anyone is interested in seeing them. If not allowed I understand. Not looking for a diagnosis just some support. If anything jumps out at you on my xray I would love to hear your thoughts. My follow up visit isn't until middle of Jan so it will be a while before I know more. We have a strong family history of psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and RA. So tired of hurting all the time, the fatigue and stiffness. Hope everyone is having a great day and as little pain as possible. Thank you in advance for your support and input.
