  1. Hey there @BonnieM. We are not doctors and do not diagnose. We are here to support those with this chronic incurable illness. It sounds like you have a lot of pain and suffering from different issues. If you feel you might have spondyloarthritis, seek out a knowledgeable rheumatologist (inflammatory arthritis) in your area. They diagnose AxSpA/AS. Here is a link that may help you find a treating physician. https://my.rheumatology.org/find-a-rheumatologist I found if you put in the least amount of info - just state and zip - you get better results pop up. Best of wellness to you friend. Rebecca (community advocate)
