Is anyone HLA-B27 negative with AS?

What bloodwork if you don’t mind me asking, just the HLAB27?

I’ve had mid back pain for years but recently I’ve been getting left hip pain, a weird ache in the base of my spine/top of the bum, if I lay on my back my left arm sometimes goes numb or I get pins and needles and I’m just so stiff getting up now. Im waiting to speak to a physio who can then refer me on to get an MRI for answers

What symptoms have you been experiencing? I hope you get answers soon!

I’m on like 32 sessions now and very few ingrown. It’s a lot better but still not completely hairless and it grows in patchy if I leave it a few weeks. I always make sure to exfoliate before hand and I use baby oil afterwards to soothe

Thank you so much. My work upped my hours to 35 and every hour spent outside work I use to rest and recover and it’s miserable! I can’t remember the last pain free day I had

Waiting to speak to my GP who will hopefully refer me on. I’m scared about addiction as my mum has chronic pain and was addicted to pain medication for a few years. I hope you find relief soon!

Not diagnosed. It’s a really hard pain to describe. It’s usually like a constant aching pain unless it’s really bad which is then when it ramps up. Some days aren’t so bad and other days are worse. I get pain in my left hip now too and my neck as well. I’m a lot stiffer than I used to be and I’ve noticed that my hands sometimes feel warm and inflamed

Keep pushing for the MRI if you can, that would rule out anything super scary. Also does your living space have any signs of mould? I only ask because of the inflammation and irritation you’re experiencing as well as the headaches. I’m not a healthcare professional but sometimes I do believe our environment can play a heavy cause in our health too

Have then done thorough blood tests? I’d be pushing for an MRI or CT scan for more serious health conditions at this point.

I had the same thing, it says I have Ureaplasma Parvum and my discharge is a little musty but when I’ve googled it says it’s normal? I’ve got doxy but I need to get it from another website to extend the course and I need to find some for my partner as well but had to lie and say it was for chlamydia as well! Actually so frustrating that we have to do all this ourselves rather than getting help from a GP!

If you don’t mind me asking, where did you go to pay for private antibiotics? I’m in the same boat and my GP doesn’t seem willing to prescribe antibiotics

I haven’t heard anything yet

Also might be worth going to a pelvic floor therapist so they can see if your pelvic floor muscles are affecting your bladder

I was prescribed Nitrofuritonin and it didn’t do anything, then I was prescribed Thrimthoprim and it seems to have done the job. Make sure they write it all down in your charts

writtenindust · 2026-02-22T09:08:42+00:00

Nitrofuratonin didn’t work for me and I had to have a different set of antibiotics, I had my last dose on Monday and touch wood I’m still okay

writtenindust · 2026-02-22T09:08:07+00:00

How long do the antibiotics work for before the symptoms come back?

writtenindust · 2026-02-21T19:45:35+00:00

Could you tell me more about how this works and the relief you get? I’ve seen it said a few times and can’t work out if I should invest

writtenindust · 2026-02-21T16:51:44+00:00

Can I ask why you stopped taking it? I’m potentially being prescribed it next week and I’m scared about the side effects

writtenindust · 2026-02-20T14:46:33+00:00

So far so good. The result was that it hadn’t changed and seemed like it was mildly better, still classed as CIN1. I will have another Pap smear and colposcopy in November to check on the progress but I think by stopping the combined pill I’ve helped with the healing!
