A member asked:

Pain with my ankylosing has gotten to much to deal with. i have been seeing a surgeon for my hip, who found two vertabrea fractures. any suggestions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: How do you know you have as? Have you seen a rheumatologist and not only had positive blood tests but confirmatory physical findings? If not that is step one. If you have an arthritic hip replacement should be preformed by a high volume surgeon as it is much more difficult in as. Without a recent injury it is unlikely the fractures are recent and it is more likely they are old compression fxs.
