I was diagnosed with sapho when I was 16 (am now in my 30's). It has mostly affected me in my collar bones and knees. It can be quite pain full in the collar bones. The bones aren't painful but all the muscles around there are affected and they are painful. I was told the only thing i could take was anti inflamatories but chose just to put up with it. The one thing that kept it away was acupuncture. Didn't help when I had it but kept it from coming back if I went regularly. panadol and ibaprofen help. Modern medicine can't really offer a cure. I'm on the natural health path now. I am looking into alkaline and acid balances in the body.
