Hi everyone,
My 11 year old son has been diagnosed with Sacroiliitis which is sometimes the first sign of AS. My grandpa had Ankylosing Spondylitis. My son is HLA-B27 negative. I am wondering if his Sacrolitis is going to develop into AS and am confused by his negative result since AS runs in our family.
His symptoms
Hip and SI joint pain
He feels best in the morning
He flares after activity, especially stairs
He has had pain from 1-7 since December usually in the 1-3 range.
His pain goes from hip to hip. It started in the right then went to left and now is back in the right.
We go to PT and accupuncture/massage with ok minimal results.
He takes tumeric for inflamation.
Can you have leaky gut if there are no other symptoms than arthritis type pain?
I started him on the NSD 5 days ago. How long does it usually take to get results? He hasn't shown any improvement. I am wondering if I need to have him go on the AIP, or the AIP with NSD. I really want to get his inflammation down asap so he doesn't get permanent damage.
Thanks for your feedback,
LeAnn
