A member asked:
Hi, if i have inflammation and fusion on my sacril joints, does that mean i have sacraillitis and could this also be ankylosing spondylitis if there is inflammation and fusion on the vertebrates and costovertebral joints thanks?

These findings are suspicious of ankylosing spondylitis. There is appropriate treatment & testing for it which includes the HLA-H27 gene( which may or may not be present) & for inflammatory markers. A rheumatologist is best to evaluate,advise,treat and follow you.
