HLA B27
by MAXNROCKY, Jun 10, 2008 07:37AM
I am a 54 year old male who has tested positive for the HLA B27 marker. I have had a hx of sacroiliac pain, psoriasis & irritable bowel syndrome. I am now having servere stiffness in my neck with pain. MRI shows 3 osteophytic discs etc. My primary care Dr. does not think I have any spondylitis or does not beleive in it. What should I do as my symptoms get worse, should I see a rheumatologist. Thanks.
