I went around searching for some arthritis stuff for some family members asking about some stuff and thought my flist may find it interesting, too.
http://www.arthritis.org/resources/gettingstarted/default.asp has a little list of some of types. The kind I have (and it is not listed here) is a type of spondylitis. It is called Undifferentiated Spondyloarthropathy (USpA). (http://www.spondylitis.org/about/undif.aspx) While my spine is affected, I also have it in one heel, in my hips and lower back and throughout my ribcage. I can also feel it my arm ball joints in the front at the same level as and affecting my clavicle, but not in the back of the arm joint.
When I started looking at a list like this, I was able to point to lots of related problems I have been suffering with for years.
-Carpal tunnel syndrome -Costrochondritis (not on the list but related) -occasional inflamed bowel problems -Myofascial syndrome -Osteoporosis -Plantar fasciitis -Sacroiliitis -Sciatica (not on the list but related) -Tardy Ulna Palsy (not on the list but related)
Crockett has psoriatic arthritis, also known as psoriatic spondylitis.
