Hi my rheumatologist suspect I have spondyloarthropy due to lower back pain and elevated esr levels. Sometimes i wake up with extreme pain that i cannot move - this happened on holiday and the pain woke me up.
I'm in a lotof pain after massaging a muscle knot (found when massaging back for the pain) is there any suggestions for helping spondyloarthropy?

Hello. I'm 17 and have seen a rheumatologist about constant joint and muscle pains and they did blood tests and ultrasounds and said all of my joints are fine but the lower back pain is "probably" due to axial spondyloathropy. He said it's probably due to "wear and tear" but I'm 17 lol. I guess I use to play a lot of football, which I had to temporarily quit due to heart issues. Yes, I get pain and stiffness. I'm also hypermobile. I also have flat feet which they suspect is why my hips/knees/ankles are painful. I also have tendonitis in my left wrist. I might just go back to the doctor and ask about the back pain and to see any way forward. In part, this is my fault because I didn't attend the physio they gave me and I completely forgot I had to have ANOTHER blood test,
