spondylitic (although more likely to be spondylotic) changes and lumbar disc dehydration are both extremely common findings on MRI scans when looking at the spinal column of older people. The discs become dehydrated as we get older and that is why we shrink. spondylotic means wear and tear or degeneration.Neither of these cause breathing problems or imbalance when walking and they were unlikely to have been caused as a result of a problem in the spinal column.
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is achronic painful and often progressive condition that brought about by inflammation of the joints of the spine. It affects the joints between the vertebrae and the sacroiliac joints, i.e, the area where your spine meets your pelvis.
