Ankylosing Spondylitis is an inflammatory arthritis that affects the joints in the spine. Due to the inflammatory nature of this disease, the bones (or vertebrae) in the back become stiff and can fuse together, causing pain and reduced flexibility in the spine. Inflammation can occur in other parts of the body including the eyes.

Most people affected will develop the condition as young adults and, in most cases, will be diagnosed before age 45. An x-ray or MRI of the sacroiliac joints can identify ankylosing spondylitis. People who have the HLA-B27 gene or suffer from inflammatory bowel disease or psoriasis may be more at risk of developing ankylosing spondylitis.

With proper treatment, patients can look forward to living a normal life.

Lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus) is a chronic condition that causes pain and inflammation in the body. It is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks tissues and organs.

The disease affects major organs including the kidneys, heart, and lungs as well as joints, blood cells, and the skin.

Some symptoms emerge immediately, while others develop over time. Symptoms vary from mild to severe and may only be temporary, although others can be permanent. Most lupus patients experience flare-ups.

Symptoms include a butterfly-shaped (malar) rash on the face that covers the cheeks and bridge of the nose.

Lupus mainly affects women. It is treatable and inflammation in the body can be limited causing the disorder to go into remission. Treatment of patients, based on the severity of individual cases, helps prevent permanent organ damage, especially in the kidneys. Lupus treatment has significantly improved over time, allowing patients with the disease to live normal lives.

Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic form of arthritis that affects the joints and the skin. It occurs in people who suffer from psoriasis, a condition that produces raised, red patches of skin, with thick silver-colored scaly plaques on parts of a patient’s body, including their knees, elbows, and scalp.

Joint stiffness, pain, and swelling are the main symptoms of the disorder and can affect both sides of the body, but often in an asymmetrical fashion like the right knee, left ankle, and only some of the finger joints, etc. The swelling or stiffness varies by patient and can be very mild or become quite severe.

Symptoms of psoriatic arthritis can resemble those of rheumatoid arthritis and joints can become painful and swollen. Symptoms can also spread to the nails which can become thickened or pitted.

There are several treatment options for the condition to reduce inflammation and prevent permanent joint damage.
