Hi,

I have been dealing with Dish Syndrome since 2014 and the doctors I see I really don't think the know what to do. I have seen a Rhumatologist and Spine/Pain Management. The last x-ray I had on my lumbar/hips the Rhumatologist stated axial spondyloarthritis and the Spine guys dish.

Can any tell me, can you have both Dish and Axial Spondyloarthritis or are they the same?

Also, I have asked for a second opinion letter and would like to see a specialist at the Mayo Clinic is the insurance company signs off. Can any point me to a great doctor?

Thanks
