Answer each question based on how you felt over the past week. Print or screenshot and bring it to your appointment. Your doctor will add your CRP result and calculate your ASDAS score in clinic.
0 = Perfect — no symptoms at all. 10 = The worst imaginable. Drag the slider to the number that best describes your past week.
Your doctor completes the ASDAS score in clinic using your CRP result. Bring this to Al Seef Hospital.
"It's not ordinary back pain. It's rheumatic inflammation."
التهاب المحور الفقاري (axSpA) مرض التهابي مزمن يصيب العمود الفقري والمفاصل التي تربطه بالحوض. هو مرتبط بجهاز المناعة — وليس بالتقدم في العمر أو التآكل.
يبدأ في الغالب قبل سن 45، وكثير من المرضى ينتظرون سنوات قبل تشخيص صحيح، لأن الأعراض تشبه ألم الظهر العادي.
مع التشخيص الصحيح والعلاج المناسب، معظم المرضى يحققون تحسناً ملحوظاً ويحافظون على حياة نشطة كاملة.
Your daily habits are as important as your medication.
Inactivity worsens this condition. Daily spinal mobility and aerobic exercise reduce stiffness.
Supervised physiotherapy is proven more effective than home exercises alone.
Feeling better means it is working — not that you can stop. Always consult your doctor.
Smoking accelerates spinal damage and reduces how well treatments work.
No specific diet treats axial SpA — but anti-inflammatory habits support your treatment.
When pain started, what makes it better or worse, whether it affects sleep
Spine movement, sacroiliac joints, peripheral joints, enthesis points
HLA-B27, CRP, ESR and full blood count when indicated
State-of-the-art protocol — finds sacroiliac inflammation that X-rays miss
Clear diagnosis and personalised management plan — usually in the same visit
