How can I tell if it is ankylosing spondylitis?

It should not be ankylosing spondylitis, your symptoms may be related to your sleeping on a hard bed, it is recommended that you sleep with a soft and thin cushion on your waist to fill the gap between your waist and the bed, and you can put a cushion on your legs to achieve a comfortable level.

It is also possible to do physiotherapy.

Sacroiliac joint changes: this is the main basis for diagnosing this disease (ankylosing spondylitis).

Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that mainly affects the sacroiliac joints, spinal bony processions, paraspinal soft tissues, and peripheral joints, and can be accompanied by extra-articular manifestations.

Diagnostic criteria:1Sacroiliitis.

2.Thoracic spine pain and rigidity. 3.

Limited mobility of the lumbar spine. 4.Chest expansion is limited.

5.Iritis or other secondary conditions. 6.

Low back pain and rigidity have been in place for more than 3 months, and they cannot be relieved even if they rest.

First of all, the pain is the most intuitive feeling, and then feel whether your knee can bend normally, whether you can do general exercise, it is best to go to the hospital for examination, to determine that the condition is good and accept it in time**.

It can be judged by CT examination, or it can be judged in combination with other indicators, and you can also observe whether you have backache and back pain, and whether you feel that your back is very stiff.

If you want to find out if you have ankylosing spondylitis, then you should go to the hospital for a check-up.

Introduction: As we get older, more and more problems will arise, and for the elderly, they may often need to pay the most attention to their own physical problems. Therefore, young people should also pay attention to their parents' daily eating habits, and then if there are some bad symptoms, then they need to take their parents to the hospital for treatment**.

How much do you know about ankylosing spondylitis? Here you can find out how to judge ankylosing spondylitis by looking up relevant information, and in what ways you can do it. These are all responsibilities that need to be fulfilled as children, so here by looking at the relevant information, we understand the following questions.

Blood test first of all, it is necessary to take blood test and take a film in time to confirm the diagnosis, and then for ankylosing spondylitis, it itself is particularly harmful to the body. If it is not timely, then it will affect the symptoms of what needs to be done in daily life in the future. It can also be further established by consulting the relevant doctors, and you can also control your physical condition by taking some medications.

Consult a doctor If your parents' health is not in trouble, then you need to take your parents to the hospital for treatment in time**. If the diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis is confirmed, you will need to see a doctor** and ask if you need surgery or medication. These are the ones that need to be carefully chosen for the choice of drugs, and those that are anti-inflammatory, can reduce inflammation and relieve pain.

Consult the informationThrough the review of the data, you can understand that immunosuppression can effectively prevent and treat ankylosing spondylitis, so the efficacy of the drug is also very moderate, and will not cause too much damage to the body's immune system. At the same time, it can also prevent the inflammation from being completely cured, and it is also a very good choice for yourself, so you can buy relevant drugs for your parents to treat.

Generally, there are no obvious symptoms, and the early manifestations are special pain in the joints, and there will also be special pain in the back. It is best to go to the hospital for a blood test so that you can make a correct judgment.

We should look at our symptoms clearly, and we should have blood tests, and we should take radiographs so that we can make a judgment and it is very accurate.

There is no way to directly see some manifestations in ordinary life, so you must take a blood test and take a film to see the specific situation.

Ankylosing spondylitis is a common subtype of spondyloarthritis, the cause is unknown, mainly invading the sacroiliac joint, spinal synovial joint, paraspinal soft tissue and peripheral joints, mainly involving the axial spine, can be accompanied by extra-articular manifestations, severe cases can occur spinal deformity and joint ankylosis, is a chronic progressive inflammatory disease, and the onset is insidious, the age of onset is usually 10-40 years old, with a peak of 20-30 years old, less common after the age of 50, more common in men. The main joint manifestations are inflammatory lower back pain, morning stiffness, peripheral arthritis, tendonitis, etc. Extra-articular manifestations are mainly ocular, pulp, cardiovascular, renal, nervous system, and gastrointestinal lesions, such as uveitis and conjunctivitis, which manifest as eye pain, redness, photophobia, tearing, and blurred vision, often involving both sides.

Some patients may have cardiovascular lesions, manifested by chest tightness, palpitations, etc.; Pulmonary lesions are more common in the later stages of the disease and often manifest as chest pain, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and occasionally cough and sputum production. Some patients may develop renal lesions, which can cause proteinuria, hematuria, and renal insufficiency. Neurological lesions are predominantly chronic arachnoiditis. On examination, the sacroiliac joints and spine, decreased thoracic mobility, and tendon tenderness may be seen.

The diagnosis is confirmed when the following are achieved:

Low back pain persists for at least 3 months and improves with activity but not with rest;

limited lumbar flexion and lateral flexion;

Thoracic extension is less than normal for the same age and sex;

X-rays. Bilateral sacroiliitis is mildly abnormal (grade), or unilateral sacroiliitis is significantly abnormal (grade).

Ankylosing spondylitis can be identified by symptoms, laboratory tests, and imaging tests. It looks like this:

1.Symptoms: Mainly manifested as symptoms of inflammatory low back pain.

The so-called inflammatory low back pain is a chronic low back pain that begins early, usually before the age of 45. It is characterized by the more pain at rest and the more activity the better. So its main manifestation is pain at night, pain in the morning, and it will be relieved after activity.

2.Laboratory tests: positive HLA-B27, important for diagnosis.

3.Imaging tests: X-rays can be used to look for stenosis or fusion of the sacroiliac joints.

For early diagnosis, MRI of the sacroiliac joint can be used. Inflammation of the synovial membrane of the joint, insect-like changes on the joint surface, or bone marrow edema of the joint are also important for early diagnosis if MRI is found. Therefore, ankylosing spondylitis is a disease that is diagnosed through symptoms, laboratory indicators, and imaging indicators.

First of all, according to the symptoms, according to the pain, you can try the following movements to self-test:

1. Cross your legs and press your legs to see if your hip joint hurts.

Clause. Second, bend over, if you can't bend down, then there must be a problem, but it doesn't mean that only ankylosing spondylitis can't bend down, many diseases will not bend down, ankylosing spondylitis is just one of them.

Clause. 3. The pain does not dare to move, it hurts when you sneeze, it hurts when you gasp, it hurts when you turn over, it hurts so much that you can't turn over, and it is heavier at night.

Although the above symptoms can be used as the basis for a comprehensive diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis, the decisive diagnosis is still to do CT, CT is to check the sacroiliac joint, if the sacroiliac joint CT report shows that there is destructive inflammation. According to the symptoms, laboratory tests, and tests, it can be determined, and if ankylosing spondylitis is diagnosed, it must be confirmed in a regular hospital for long-term standardization**.

The first step is to understand the patient's symptoms

DU signs, extra-articular manifestations, and family history.

The second step, for the DAO

X-ray, CT, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be an option in early clinical or suspicious cases. Because CT has more radiation than ordinary x-rays, it should only be used as a diagnosis and does not necessarily require repeated testing.

In the third step, the doctor will also test the blood of the patient with ankylosing spondylitis, and the test result is positive; It should be noted that because some healthy people are also positive, it is not a "final word"; On the other hand, as long as the clinical manifestations and imaging tests meet the diagnostic criteria in HLA-B27 negative patients, the possibility of ankylosing spondylitis cannot be ruled out.

The above diagnostic tests need to be considered comprehensively, and cannot be decided rashly based on one aspect.

Hospital check-up! I have classmates who have this disease, don't be careless.

The onset of illness is slow, the systemic symptoms are mild, and there may be fatigue in the early stage, the signs may be reduced, or there may be nausea and fever. Pain in the lower back, muscle spasms and stiffness develops gradually, and symptoms tend to worsen with rest and lessen with activity. Typical sacroiliac joint pain develops later.
