[|Human|] my son is 30 years old. about a year ago started having cronic pain in mid and lower back. had epidural shots but didnt help.  finally had surgery 6 months ago.  still has lot of pain, unable  to stand or sit very long.  can not work.  Now pain has moved to his upper neck area.   MRIs before and now show his back is a mess.  nerve,  arthirus, stenosis and i dont remember what else.   Dr currently trying series of shots in upper back (neck area).   starting to have pain now in other joints.  knees,  hands.   What can be causing all this?
[|AI|]  Hi, i have gone through query and I feel sad for your son. But before I give my suggestion please clarify few things-1.what was the reason for spine surgery ?was there any pain in limbs with numbness and tingling sensation.2.what was the walking distance without pain?3.is there any fever, morning stiffness, loss of weight and appetite.4.what about blood test like HLAB27,serum uric acid, RA factor. What about his eye and other organ condition.  Based on your query I feel he could be having lumbar canal stenosis or ankylosing spondylitis.  Please do come back I would be glad to help you. Take care and don't loose hope.
