Yes… it can . Spa ( spondyloarthritis) is divided into two parts -1. Non-radiographic SpA ( no xray evidence of sacroilitis) 2. Radiographic Spa ( xray evidence of Sacroilitis) , this os also known as Ankylosing Spondylitis. Now Non-radiographic SpA : is diagnosed by clinical history of pain ( special characteristics history) plus examination , with some lab tests . MRI can be positive or negative in this phase of illness. So Diagnosis is mostly clinical with correlation with investigations.
Next Steps
Consult a Rheumatologist
