[RC] Linda's back pain - Bruce WearyLinda--You have some special concerns due to the fibromyalgia combined with the ankylosing spondylitis. Vitamin D may help with the fibro. How old are you? When did the ankylosing spondylitis start? Many people confuse hip pain with sacroiliac pain. Is your pain in the actual ball and socket joints, or around back below your beltline in the tailbone area? Where is your back pain? What movements or postures aggravate the back pain? How advanced is your ankylosing spondylitis? Yes, meds can cause back pain if they irritate the stomach. Certain organs can reflect pain to the spine or skeleton when inflamed--such as the heart, stomach, gall bladder, pancreas, and uterus. (Right ladies?) I need some answers to these questions before I can have anything of value to say. You should consider a gaited horse, as the ankylosing spondylitis will remove 70% or more of your spine's shock absorption capability.
