Hi Joanna,

Me again. I feel so sad reading your posts-as I truly can relate as can many here. I also have more than one illness-I have a long history of Lyme disease (when I was 10 years old), autoimmune Addison's Disease, as well as hypothyroidism. The neuropathy is new in the past year.

If I remember correctly-AS often starts in the sacroiliac joint. Was that the case for you? The SI joint has many nerves that run through it-nerves that control the muscles in the legs. Anything irritating those nerves can cause your gait to change, even if you don't realize it is happening. I have a hypermobile SI joint_hear it click in and out of place alllll the time. Because of this, I get some strange leg issues. Is it possible you have any sort of compression happening in this joint?
