Arthritis Posted: 03-05-04 13:37pm
Spondylitis-chronic, progressive disease
of the joints, accompanied by inflammation
and stiffening. It is characterized by a
"bent forward" posture caused by
stiffening of the spine and support
structures. Manifestations of this
disease may be confused with the arthritis
of lyme disease.
Spondylosis-degenerative changes of bones
in the neck that place pressure on merves
and muscles to the arms, legs and
bladder.
I hope this helps. I got the definitions
from a symptom and illness book.
