Thank you as well Tim,

I'd have to say the first with me was low back and SI joint right side.. It does get better as I move, and as for family history I believe my mother has arthritis and I know she has been diagnosed with Lupus. I tend to wonder because her physical ailments are so similar to my own whether she was properly diagnosed. Her symptoms seem in my eyes to point to AS.. but who am I to say!? lol
The mri apparently didn't find anything in the right si joint, but no one seems to tell me much. I read that I have a cyst somewhere in or on my spine as the doc was holding the paper, and have the deterioration not only in L 2 to L5, but apparently up in my c area? I'm just sort of feeling in the dark as the docs don't really say much to me.
Thanks so much for your response, much appreciated!
