I was just wondering if anyone who has spondy has had swelling in the knee area? I started off with swelling and pain in the knee...saw the Orthopedist and he ordered an MRI of the knee and the lumbar spine...b/c He said I had a lot of weakness in the leg and thought maybe I had 2 different things going on. The mri of the knee only showed swelling, "not much more". But the spine MRI was concerning. I have a grade 4 spondy. L5S1. I am scheduled for EMG and NCS next week....Just wondered what eveyone's story is.....
