Axial spondyloarthritis is an inflammatory condition involving the sacroiliac joints, spine, and peripheral joints. This narrative review discusses the pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of axial spondyloarthritis.

Poll: have you ever heard of axial spondyloarthritis OR ankylosing spondylitis?

So basically axial spondyloarthritis has two subtypes. Ankylosing spondylitis is now called radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, and there's also non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis

Anyway it's looking increasingly likely that I have axial spondyloarthritis 😱

It's not unlikely that a 26yo with chronic back pain would have undiagnosed axial spondyloarthritis. These patients need an astute rheumatologist not orthopedic surgery.
I think the lesson we can all learn from this is to JUST SAY NO to spinal fusion surgery.

Welp. At least I now know why I'm in pain all the time >.>

The results of my MRI scan are in; I don’t have spondyloarthritis! Turns out I have some beginning osteoarthritis and a couple prolapsed discs. No wonder my back hurts all the time lmao. My other symptoms are due to rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia as was already established

Many patients treated with golimumab (Simponi) for newly diagnosed peripheral spondyloarthritis in a small trial achieved sustained drug-free remission after 10 years of follow-up, researchers found.

Ok more context on this:

Basically, it's been seeming more and more likely that I have axial spondyloarthritis, which is an autoimmune disease that messes up your back, among other things.

I tested positive for HLA-B27, which is a gene that many people with axial spondyloarthritis have.
> HLA-B27 positive individuals have an 87-fold increase in their relative risk of developing [axial spondyloarthritis] compared with HLA-B27 negative individuals.

Amy health update:

I may have some kind of spondyloarthritis, gotta get an MRI of my sacroiliac joints done (that's in the area of the hips / lower back)

We found that diagnostic delay in axial spondyloarthritis was 21% longer (7 months) among people with a social need, using an accelerated failure time model. @jrheumatol.bsky.social @renatoferrandiz.bsky.social www.jrheum.org/content/52/4...

🧵 The CDC's recent directive to remove all articles that mention DEI terms INCLUDING "gender" is more than concerning.

Understanding the distinction between sex and gender is critical, including for chronic diseases. An example in axial spondyloarthritis: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38008661/

Anyway I need to get an MRI done, but there's like a 95% chance that I have axial spondyloarthritis
Whoa i love being in severe pain every time I wake up
