Renee,
had the same battle with my GP/PCP on all these matters B27 -ve do n't get SpA, B27-ve's do not fuse, SpA can't change into ankylosing.
Pain, AS/SpA is not painful.
That arms and legs get problems as well as axial joints
That there can be nerve involvement, that discs get munched etc.......
They can diagnose eye problems with a quick look
It;'s your shoes causing plantar fanscitis......
Your pain in the joints and muscles are linked to IBD symptons,
That nsaids can't make you worse.......
It's not us, it's the Dr.s who are the problem!!!! They are not current and they think they are infallible..........
Sorry on my Soap Box today, must be feeling better!
David
IBD=It's Been Dreadful
