I am very confused

I got a letter from my GP today to help towards my DLA claim.
She has written a very good and concise letter outlining all my issues.
My problem is that when i saw another GP after i got the xray results back she said i had arthritis in both hips and my spine. In the letter this GP has put spondilitis of the spine. When i googled it the only thing i came up with is anklosing spondilitis. Is this the same thing?? I'm not sure WHAT i've got now :oops:

    Sometimes Drs use different teminology. I'd go back to your GP and ask him/her to explain what was written and why. Good luck. rita
