A member asked:

I am 23 years old suffering from lower back pain.x-ray report says that i have spondylitis and gap between two vertibrae in lower spine.please suggest?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more informatio: I understand your question but the information you have is not enough to help me answer. Is this inflammatory spondylitis or a mechanical spondylitis I can't tell. The space between vertebrae may be a normal variant. You may need to discuss with your physician about getting an MRI to clarify this

A member asked:

History of occasional back muscle cramps spams which are likely due to lower vertibrae irregularities. Can these spasms cause low back pain by pulling the spine out of alignment and or be bad enough to make it stay that way and need correction?
