Sjogreens or AxiaSpondydis
Hi, I was just dx with Sjogreens and Raynalds last year. Probably had it for years, as I was dx with Fibro years ago. I have the AAB antibody. I want to know if I have AxiaSpondydis, and is there a test specific for that? I have knee and foot pain and I believe, crystals forming on the bottom of my foot. Thank you. Cathy Fredella
-Hi Cathy,
I'm sorry to hear what you've been going through.
Unfortunately, testing/diagnosing AS can be a bit challenging as there is no one single test to accurately make a diagnosis.
Usually, your doctor or a rheumatologist will take in consideration your medical history, family history, a physical exam, as well as an MRI, X-ray and blood work to make a definitive diagnosis.
As we wait for others to chime in here, I thought I'd share this article that may provide some helpful information:
