A member asked:

Si joint &low back pain for 2 weeks.how often does it indicate ankylosing spondylitis? if not as, what are other differentials that i can think of?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Very short time: 2 weeks is a short time for as. Look for fibromyalgia, muscle strains, and assure internal organs normal.

Back strain: Ankylosing spondylitis highly unlikely. Most likely is an acute strain. Give it time and it should resolve.
