What did you do if you had it?  Hurts to walk, sit, sleep. Sometime legs get stuck in one position and it is hard to move it to get out of the pain. Feels like leg comes out of socket.

I have problems doing any one thing for a long time. I have to constantly change my position when at work, get up and walk around. I use an electric blanket when I sleep but still have to get up every 2 hours because of hip pain. I am on Savella for Fibro also and that helps. New to both SA and Fibro so still trying alot of new things. I do know I cannot stay in one position or I seem to lock up like you said. My skin is really bad right now and my main question is can you treat the arthritis part and the skin part with the same medication?

I had a bone scan done, and the orthopedist called me into view the results, she wanted me to see the pics. Normally your bladder is the most white as that is where the med they inject congregates until you pee. Well, it was my lower back, SI joint.

I cannot stand for long periods of time, nor sit or lay. I have to change positions frequently. I also use a heating blanket at night.

And yes, you can treat the arthritis and skin with same meds. They are both autoimmune diseases. The meds are immune suppression drugs to lower your immune system so that it is not attacking your body. it may take a few trys to find the meds that work best for you.
