JoanneP79,

I was pain free from AS my entire life despite the ongoing fusion. I'm 41 now and they found my AS by accident in 2008 when I had a chest X-ray for pneumonia and saw fusion. I did not feel any pain until 2014. At that point they put me on Humira. Worked 100% for three months and then the back pain and tingling/numbness/burning all started at once. Stopped Humira and I am wanting to find out what is causing the neuropathy so I can decided if I want to go back on biologics or the new drugs coming out this year.

Sorry to hear you also have multiple issues. Does your neuropathy come and go and is it sometimes positional (sitting or bending brings it on?).

Susanne,

Thanks for the suggestion. I will mention it to my neurologist. I don't have any family history though. Have you been able to get any relief?
