DISH (diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis) or Forestier's

Not everybody has the same outcome but mostly it is slow and progressive. I am 70 and have had this for 20 years. My spine is fused and I also have peripheral DISH in my hands, feet, knees, legs with lots of pain. It would probably be good to go see a specialist. Maybe if you get a good doc they can slow the progression.

I am seeing a specialist, she actually has the DISH diagnosis. She has been studying it for 10 years post medical school. Took a long time to get to the right doctor. I plan to do everything I can to slow the progression.
