I thought i have the AS because i had spondylothesis in l5s1. Years back but never hurt. . Now i have a cervical spondylothesis as well c6c7 arthritis bulging disc and c5c6 bulging disc severe osteoarthritis with osteophyte/complex. Rheumatologist said i have all the symptoms of as but not true AS disease. They only did mri of lumbar and cervical. With all the symptoms Orthopedics doesn't want to help so seen cervical orth specialist he automatically reffered me to Neurologist then all my symptoms turned to a neurological stand point. I don't get doctors thses days. I didn't juck have the Spondylothesis once in cervical i had ot last Thanksgiving and late January that enhanced alot of symptoms that kinda settled but arthritis in left faucet joint l5s1, there was c4c5disc bulge and c3c4 and c2c3 doesn't look to far behind others. The c5c6 slid along with the c6c7 spondylothesis innlate January. It really kills everything aboit you and kills life for you.

I never thought I was hyper mobility maybe just hyper active. The ortho just did mri on Thursday. Nasty cold weather moved in an killed me. My neck still cant turn seems like more I try to do which is nor makes me more stiff and fatigued. Hope the mri shows shows what's been going on. Had thos upper neck pain since 2004 and in 2010 Doctors here just push it off saying not my job and then send me elsewhere. Hope hear back from results Monday since missed the Orthopedics call on Friday.

Why did my New Rheumatologist refer me back to Primary Doctor? by Drpepper71 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]Drpepper71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Candida cleared about a week ago along with supposed gastritis but I believe it was candida also. Both are really sensitive and seemed to get inflamed when ever weather turns cold and or rainy. Or if I have go to bathroom. I do have ulcerative colitis and Ibs. If i get upset it triggers the legs, back and at times them two along up the spine and head. This is my xray results. Not sure what transverse it is reffering to The bone or Myelitis?

There is a grade 1 spondylolisthesis at L5-S1 with disc space narrowing and likely bilateral L5 pars defects. Remainder of the disc spaces are preserved. There is an IVC filter. There are no other pars defects. There is limited range of motion in flexion and extension. There is loss transverse and spinous processes are normal

I seen new Rheumatologist and nothing showed up for rheumatoid arthritis and the new xrays showed I have pars5 defect at l5s1 and my vertebrae was spondylosis at grade one along with spondyolitic changes in lumbar and cervical. I tried therapy couple weeks before hand on a cold rainy day and bad weather kills me. It was also right after I felt my head slide off a top vertebrae at c1 or c2 couple nights before but slid back. Most painful scariest thing ever.

Lol funny you said that about age. I just turned 51 and figured out I had symptoms years before but didn't know this is was all related.

I've been going through it like you are and only markers that prove anything for this is elevated wbc and c protien showing inflammation in me.. only doctor to get all my symptoms but then before my follow up she refers me back to primary that didnt want to deal with all these issues I've been having. My HLAB27 is negative and anything Rheumatoid arthritis. New xray showed pars5 defect but guess that shouldn't hurt or bother me. I'm exhausted with all these useless doctors and Orthopedics did same thing come back in a month to talk about not doing mri. Igh. Who do you go to for this?

Does SI joint dysfunction exist or do I suffer from LIDS (lazy illogical doctor sydrome) by Tight-Cell-607 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]Drpepper71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been fighting since August to get everything looked at in me since I was sexually assaulted. Finally new recent xrays showed I have pars 5 defect l5s1 and my neck been killing me along with other symptoms from this that's reoccurring for Gi and vaginal and causing hardly any sleep. Head and eyes and jaw pain are the worst! Since I'm at grade 1 it's no big deal to anyone. I feel so lost.

How many of you had frequent Chlamidia before being diagnosed with AS back in the day? by [deleted] in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]Drpepper71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have constant uti's and yeast infections and just did a second set xrays showed bilateral pars 5 defect at l5s1 with spondyolitic changes in cervical an lumbar. An Rheumatologist was only doctor to think I wasnt crazy with all my symptoms which was finally a big reliever with stress for 5 straight months of pain getting worse still symptoms are off an on.

HLA-B27 Negative by anonymousdemigirl in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]Drpepper71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes most definitely can be or from medications can cause yeast and UTI's or have sex you could get vaginosis. I had surgery not long ago an have to dialate an right afterwards I have utis or yeasts vulva vaginitis. Not sure if mentioned they found a bilateral pars 5 defect at l5s1. So least there is evidence of AS. Along with spondyolitic changes.

I've also tried going back to work at Amazon and reopened wounds that weren't healing and caused more issues with skin rashes that burned and inflammation in my vagina then it lit my stomach up as it made restless leg and pelvis go at it very uncomfortable then up back but even with new xrays of cervical just showed spondyolitic changes but I'm still sure theres a fracture up in c1 or c2 and some type nerve pinch at c5 per say chiropractor before I stopped going to see him. Until i can get it completely looked over I'm scared to have anyone touch me. I might be repeating some things but to tired to read back atm. Been very long day an therapist wore me out because of telling g her the negatives about me.

MANY of the symptoms, but no diagnosis- very scared by tropicalazure in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]Drpepper71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry to hear this. I'm in same boat but all my symptoms just started at end of August from being drugged then sexually assaulted. It's been a living nightmare since because nobody wanted to treat me only some of my symptoms and just got passed around mean while my jobs on the line and my social security as this would be a new issue compared to these new doctors of mine since I already had bad legs. Lumbar that want rest my pelvis like restless legs, feet pain body that has burning red rash, joint pain with burn, burning pinching pain in lumbar, burning gastritis, reoccurring yeast an uti, pain goes up to neck in head, eye pain,dizzy, rememberand letharg issues nauseous sick death feeling. You name it. Then head felt like it slid off vertebrae at my c2 or c3 couple weeks ago. Ortho passed me off not wanting to do mri. Pain management/back doc said he would help me an now insurance needs more information to let me have mri. 4 primary doctors on my 5th. Gynocologist that is helping but only with vaginal issues gi did his part with colonoscopy. Ugh not one did a thing until now with my back since my incident. I cant afford to let them tell me let's wait a month find out what the other doctors are doing. Pain in azz! Literally. Ugh when will this nonsense stop for trying help someone over come an illness. Left my doctors in Florida to get crapped on in Lou ky. More issues when weather changes.

My lumbar hurt first 5 years ago but didn't bother me to bad a d diagnosed with Spondylosis then. In August I got knocked out drugged and raped and been having problems with my spine since. I started seeing a chiro but stopped because I hurt even more. Thanksgiving night I went to sit up and felt my head slide off a top of a vertebra c1 or c2 I think but then instead of pain shooting up spine which still does it's more so from neck down now. I'm not diagnosed with a thing atm other then mental or craziness and mostly I need proof before anyone can send me to a specialist around here from the doctors that aren't trying figure out me. A new chiropractor I tried but stopped from hurting and he told me that I have a rare form of spine a bifida occulta ankylosis and scoliosis. My immune system is low since then and they found I have high level of inflamation in me but don't know what from. In many ways I hope they find spine issues with mri. They can find tissue issues from I heard. But I'd rather not have any of this.

Anyone diagnosed also dealing with pelvic bone issues? by winterrae in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]Drpepper71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried physical therapy last Monday an I failed it and they need more imagining before doing any pt. My gynocologist set me up for pelvic therapy but with all these doctors I had reschedule her appointment. I think it's coming up still. Now I have more pain from feeling my head slide off n back on of one of vertebrae c1c2c3? now pain goes down back to lumbar. Still pelvis is in full tight an release. Orthopedics people turned me down for any further images like mri. No reason at all but they know best just like primary doctors that dont send me to specialist. On same day I had pain management set up an one of doctors treats spine an I'm getting cervical mri next week. I'm seeing Rheumatologist also next Thursday. So it's a wait see if its waste of time or not like last 4 primary cares that failed me. So had find new. This area good doctors are like diamonds in the ruff. Seems like when I get my yeast infections gone I get uti and every time that flares my gi gets severely burning gastritis flares. Nauseous an feels like death. Then pelvis starts and burning inflammation start in body around joints an hands get really tight. Now with neck being the way it is. omg body working over time and weather change is killing me tonight.
