How Could One Confirm It's Inflamation Affecting The Spine And Not Spondylitis Causing The Pain And Stiffness?
@A MySpondylitisTeam Member. Spondylitis IS inflammation affecting the spine. If you can share more of what you're experiencing or thinking members might be able to better help you figure it out. The AI response mentions blood tests, but it doesn't include info about cytokine testing from the blood. The accompanying articles are outdated and incomplete too. It takes a great deal of research and questioning to wrap your brain around the widespread complexities of this little understood condition. Good luck to you. ππ

- Physical Exam: A thorough physical examination to assess pain and stiffness
- Medical History: Personal and family medical history to identify patterns.
- Imaging: Scans such as X-rays or MRI Show Full Answer
