I have this and fibromyalgia along with lots of other diagnoses. Does anyone here have this also?
Ouch! That is quite the combination, I know that there are certainly members who have both. I am going to link some resources below that touch on the subject too. How have you been managing? Are there a lot of cross-over symptoms for you?

It's coming down to my last option surgery on my vertebrae to resolve my pain.
, thank you for the update on how you're doing. Goodness, how are you feeling about that? I know you've already been through so much with this disease. Do you have a date for the surgery or are you and your doctors still thinking about this option? Please know that we're here anytime you need support or just want to chat.

I can't believe it's been ten years. Unfortunately, my options are dwindling. I have an appointment to be evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon for back surgery.
, we hear you. I'm sorry to hear that you're running out of options and I wish you weren't having to deal with all of this. We're wishing you the very best for your upcoming appointment. If you feel comfortable doing so, please keep us updated on how it goes, and do remember that we're here anytime you need us. Hopefully the surgeon will be able to help you get the relief you deserve. If you'd like to hear others' experiences with back surgery (I believe we have a few community members who have been through this), you could try starting your own forum discussion on this topic: https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/create-thread Hoping today is gentle with you.

I hope you find a good surgeon. Mine was great. If you don't like what they say please look for a different one. I saw several before I let them cut me. If there is an orthopedic clinic you can go to I highly recommend checking them out. Orthopedic associates is in my area and I have had great success with the doctors and surgeons there.
