When i thought i had turned a corner and things were starting to improve when good ole mother nature has just thrown me another curve ball. Yesterday i received the medical report for the motorcycle accident and I can now officially say i have Ankylosing Spondylitis. It is a form Rheumatoid Arthritis I have known for a long time that i had more than just osteoarthritis, but trying to get doctors to realize that has been hard work. I took the medical report from a consulting orthopedic surgeon and gave it to the GP . He called me in today and The doctor has referred to the specialist rheumatologist in Ankylosing Spondylitis.I also told that my lower back is getting worse especially at night and first thing in the morning where it can take me up to 1/2 hr to get moving in the mornings due to the lower back pain he has prescribed amitriptyline to help at night.
so on that point there is no weigh-in tonight as i am at home suffering with lower back pain and told to rest till the new pills kick in and then to keep moving and stretching the muscles as it will help with mobility.
