I am very interested in pursuing CCI/ AAI b/c I have always suspected structural issues, but my question is, how would this changing of symptoms apply to CCI?
Perhaps the answer to Moof's question posted here might explain why you get periods of feeling better and periods of feeling worse: short answer: some autoimmune diseases can cause ligament swelling (pannus) which leads to CCI. Since autoimmunity can be relapsing-remitting, then I am guessing so might CCI.
And secondly, if I were to get MRI scans done in a "better period", would they show CCI/ AAI/ other issues?
I don't really know, but if a CCI were autoimmune in nature, then I guess the ligament swelling and thus the CCI conceivably might be less during better periods.
