Your story sounds exactly like mine. Basically, my chiropractor said there’s not much more he could do as others have said to me.

I finally went to a rheumatologist- have positive HLA-B27 and sacroiliac pain and an MRI showing arthritis. He put me on Humira like you and started last week. I’m hoping it will help me.

Btw. Also, have Uveitis.

So far the Humira has not stopped my pain. Next Friday will be my 6th injection. Maybe it takes time to work. I get really stiff in my hip if I sit to long & get up. It will take me a minute to be able to walk. I'm only 46 but feel like 90 literally lol. If I stand for a long period my hip hurts & left lower back hurts. It hurts just to sit or lay. I'm gonna ask my rheumatologist if she will test me for that gene. She believes i have Ankylosis Spondylitis & when I researched SI joints being Sclerotic it said AS and I believe I read AS can cause Uveitis as well. I can't see a chiropractor because it's to much out of pocket for me. I see my rheumatologist again on the 8th & see what she thinks about my cat scan so I can maybe get a definite diagnosis.
