Hello!
First time posting so hello!
I have lumbosacral spondylosis - arthritis in my lower back and SI joints. I wondered if anyone else has this? My left SI joint is excruciatingly painful 😣 and I really need help! I had an si injection in June but it was short lived and I’m back to square one now. I’m having frequent meltdowns as I can’t manage the pain - I can’t take anti inflammatories and I’m now on a butec patch which I don’t really feel is helping. Got a call with my GP tomorrow and MSK next week (they sorted the injection). I’m a mess really and hoping this isn’t my new ‘normal’ 😕

Thank you for the information. Funny you should forward the information on AS as my Dad had it and I carry the gene. I’m convinced I have AxSpa but nobody seems to be listening. It’s so frustrating!!
