Hello

Also seronegative. Also have hip and back issues. This week the rheumy pressed bottom of my back (ouch!) And asked if it hurt!

I have suspected PsA. I think inflammatory arthritis can cause problems with the spine. I'm due an MRI. Has your dic suggested one of these?

Hi,

I have PSA and OA. My lower back is very painful- and travels up both sides. I have erosion in my neck too. My hips, despite being pinned, also hurt a lot. But, Izabella, you will find a way to manage and still be happy and have fun. Hang in there xx

Considering how they behave sometimes perhaps the original spelling is appropriate. Just a thought.
