my symptoms are pain in tailbone and surrounding area, weakness in legs which really scare me, dizziness, burning in lower back around the tailbone and burning in the front of my legs, cold foot, neck pain upper back pain and burning sensation. the weakness in my legs are the most worrying for me. tailbone feels like sometimes I'm sitting on a rock, I also have felt extremely tired, sore when waking up in the morning, problems lifting my legs up to put my socks on (stiffness) I have the positive gene my dad also has spondylitis but had mri few years ago and came back negative they told me it was mechanical pain but everytime I have a flare up the pain gets worse I've never had weakness in legs until now. I was also wondering if it could be stress I am going through an extremely stressful time at the moment? going docs next week but they keep fobbing me off and giving me back exercises to do.
