Anyone have any doc suggestions in south or central Arkansas???

Dr. Thomas C. Namey, MD, is a rheumatologist, sports medicine and nutrition expert practicing in Knoxville, Tennessee. If you are in the area and are seeing someone that can't help you PLEASE look him up and get refered.

I went to four docs in the Metro New Orleans area for 3 years searching for an answer to the reason my back hurt so bad. I had been told around 2003 that I had a fused SI joint when I had a xray for a kidney stone. In doing some research on fused SI joints, I found AS. Four rheumys told me that I did not have AS, that it was a mans disease. One day, I was in recovery room after a surgical ...

I love Harris McIlwain. He's great and so are his books!

Anyone ever go to the Mayo Clinic in AZ? I had a friend go there last month - she has a rare form of vasculitis that she was struggling w/ back home (getting a diagnosis). She had a good experience. My husband was trying to talk me into going out there eventually (now isn't an option financially). I don't see the point since i live so close to the med center of houston and there's so many ...

Does any one know of a good Dr. in Pensacola or close by? We have a number of rheumatologist here, but is anyone being treated for AS by a local Dr. Thanks Elle

After receiving two different diagnosis, my family physician located Dr. John A. Flynn who is the medical director of the spondyloarthritis program at Johns Hopkins, MD. She did not want me to get another opinion but rather be seen by someone who specializes in this disease. I have an appointment in September. Will let you all know how it goes. Bonnie

Does anyone know of a good doctor in portland oregon??? All of the doctors that my husband has seen for his AS all tell him that there is nothing that they can do but give him medicine to help with the pain but nothing to help treat the disease itself.

And loved him! He is in LA at Cedars-Sinai which is a bit of a drive for me but it was so worth it. He spent an hour and half with me, discussed the latest research in AS and did a thorough physical exam. I recommend him to anyone who is seeking a knowledgable, kind doctor who knows what he is doing and cares about his patients! Laura
