i had a positive hla b 27 antigen and ana of 1:16. wbc count was high. one liver function was elevated. i have been put on 10 mg prednisone and am still in severe agony. i have tendon pain and swelling and i have pain in my upper back and hips. this has rapidly progressed in 2 years. i was symptom free before then, im trying to seek out a lyme specialist as well to rule that out because i did have some tick in my apartment right before all this mess happened. but i wanted to know if anyone with spondylitis has severe joint pain, tendon swelling, and muscle spasms like i do?! also i dont think i have afford the humira or enebrel and i was wondering how to get on that if theres any kind of assistance for it. also i have to wait 3 months to start cuz im pregnant.
along with this i also have headaches, jaw pain, ear stuffiness, confusion, tendon swelling and pain, muscle spasm, spine pain, bone pain, mild joint swelling and pain, numbing, muscle twitching. all they could find was that maybe i have spondylitis. i dont know what to do about this. my pain level is at a 8-10 every day and two years ago i was swimming now i cant climb stairs without the use of the rail and it takes me longer then a grandma to get out of my car. im 28 years old.
