Hi all:) I’m just anxious and needing to talk to other anxious people going through a similar experience I guess. I had my first colonoscopy yesterday (45yo female). Only symptoms are mucus in the stool.

They found and removed 5 polyps:
3 flat ones in the ascending colon (8-12mm).
1 mucus-capped and flat polyp in the ascending colon (20mm).
1 sessile polyp in the transverse colon (18mm).

All were removed and am anxiously awaiting pathology.

Anyone have anything similar?

Hi:) I just received results from an xray of my cervical spine and part of it says “wedging of c6 vertebral body”. Does anyone have a good explanation of what this actually is? The internet says it could be a compression fracture? I’m 45 with osteoporosis and psoriatic arthritis. They also found levo convexity of the c spine extending into the thoracic spine, I guess this is scoliosis? Anyone with similar issues? Thanks

Hi:) So this is something that has been ongoing for me for at least the past ten years. Everything will be fine and then BAM my lower back spasms or something and the pain is unreal, my whole back tenses up and I get a pelvic tilt that hikes one hip up really high and my tail bone area tucks down (I don’t know if this makes any sense). Nothing helps. So this happens on and off for years and years. I was diagnosed with PsA about a year ago and am currently on Tremfya. I am wondering if this back stuff could be a flare. I am due for my injection next week. Do you think I am just pulling my back out or is this PsA? Thanks for any opinions etc.

Just to note, I am active when feeling good and I have been feeling great on Tremfya. This is my third shot coming up, I failed my last biologic. I regularly do yoga, indoor rock climbing (just auto belays), and hiking. I have been tiling my floors recently and everything has been fine. My back decided to get wonky today while kneeling down 😒
