Could my sore shoulders be an early sign of Ankylosing spondylitis?

---

My shoulders have been really sore lately. Because of it I haven't been working out as much and I'm really tired all the time. Both of my sisters have AS and so I'm worried that I might be getting it as well. My shoulders feel like I need a massage all the time and I can't seem to relax or sleep the pain away. It's not in my back really, but just in my shoulders. Any ideas? Thanks so much.
sounds like cramps, try stretching your shoulders or asking a chiropractor.  (+ info)

Is there any permanent cure for spondylitis?

---

Iam 30 yrs old and had this recurring neck pain and back pain both in left side for quite some time. Recently doc told that its due to spondylitis and prescribed some gel and pain killers. He also told that there is not permamnet cure for the same.
Did you have an MRI or CT Scan that verified with the doctor said?

If there is severe joint damage, it can be treated via surgery - but there is the chance that it will come back later in life.

I'm currently being treated for lubar joint damage (L5//S1) He initially thought it was Spinal Stenosis - and was he wrong - the MRI told the truth. I have a spinal injection coming u p- if they don't work, I'll have it fixed with surgery. BUT as my doctor said, it could come back years down the road.

I know the pain sucks - I'm dealing with it 24/7.  (+ info)

My father has a severe spinal deformity due to ankylosing spondylitis. Any possible cure?

---

Having checked out on the internet, it seems that osteotomies are very successful surgical procedures to correct the deformity, i.e, straighten the neck and back. However, we would like to know the costs and the risks involved. I may add that after a successful accupuncture treatment around 15 years ago, my father experiences no pain at all, except after a strenuous exercise or exposure to extreme cold. Please help us find a way. Thank you!
Hello, I'm a doctor. Use Accutane. I think that you want to get more info about it. Please go to ----> http://webmd33.notlong.com/AA2jBKm  (+ info)

I have ankylosing spondylitis; what will it feel like when my bones are actually fusing?

---

I was diagnosed with AS about two years ago. The pain is somewhat constant but I do have flare-ups from time to time. I have had a particularly bad flare-up the last three weeks; my neck is extremely stiff and painful, along with my shoulders and arms. How will I know when actual fusing is taking place?
I will pray for you. You have my sympathy. I have bone cancer, and it is terminal. I focus on what I CAN do, each day. Some days all I can do is lay in bed. Other days, although rarely, I feel almost good. I believe we send messages to our bodies, subconsciously. If we think the worst, the worst will happen. I am a registered nurse, and even though I could easily look up every aspect of my disease, I choose not to. Only God knows when our time is up.  (+ info)

Is it advisable to do strength and light weight exercises in gym after recovering from Cervical Spondylitis.?

---

I am 42 years old male. I have just recovered from severe cervical pain. Should I do the light weight exercises in gym or avoid it ?
After a cervical injury, try asking your physician to refer you to a physical therapist who can outline a cervical rehabilitation program which you can perform yourself in the gym.

I usually have my patients work with the therapist for a few sessions to be sure they a performing the exercises properly, then release them to the gym, with a suggested goal of when they should be able to increase to further exercises or increased weight.

This helps streghten the cervical region and decreases the risk of reinjury due to improper training.  (+ info)

I have Ankylosing Spondylitis and I want to know if it is normal to have contractions in my back.?

---

These contractions are so bad and cannot be controled, I cannot make the slightest movement or i will have one that tightens everything in my upper torso and I can't make it go away. Does anybody have AS who might have a similar problem?
Hello. Yes I've had that problem since first diagnosed in 1972.It never was a problem until last year-2007.I started getting very unsteady.I have had terrible back spasms.Indeed my first doctor thought I'd had a Heart Attack.I changed that idiot.My new doctor sent me for a scan.The trouble is in my back and neck,not my brain.Now I know a guy I communicate with and he is far worse than I. He is 'fused ' from base of spine to the top of neck.We both agreed that Physiotherapy and Acupuncture has helped considerably.I also Meditate.Tension is not good for your back.Hypnotherapy might also assist with relaxation.
It's hard to do these things when your in pain.I got a shock when I logged the condition on the net;it can amongst other rotten things cause paralysis.So I suggest you seek more professional advice because the condition can be managed.I do have back pain every day but haven't had any more serious spasms thank God. Good Luck!  (+ info)
