A member asked:

Seen in er- inflammation/red rash of (l)foot. dx: inflammation was related back issue- (herniated l3/4/5) ankylosing spondylis. is this plausible?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No/yes: Herniated discs would not be related be related to inflammation of the foot nor ankylosing spondylitis. On the other hand, if you had a spine disease called ankylosing spondylitis, that is associated with peripheral joint inflammation. Ankylosing spondylitis is a diagnosis that needs to be made by a rheumatologist only.
