I agree atmospheric pressure makes mine worse
When we recently had a Hurricane pass by and the pressure got down to the 900's I got so much worse.
Anyone with neck problems? Do you get burning in your arms and back? I get burning every now and then and want to know what you use or do to get it to calm down.

Living with AS is fatigue enough for us all, the main question I'm asking is has anyone else had trouble getting seen by a dentists after telling them your taking a biologic for AS ? I'm new to all this and i would love some feedback if anyone else has been in… read more
I have minor pain in my knee in the past. I did PT and all the shots and rooster comb etc. The thing that helped me the most was laser treatment. However, it is $75 per treatment. I haven't needed it for a couple of years. However, I was fine walking around this morning. I was on my computer for a bit. When I started to get up to walk, my knee was so painfully sore, I had to use a cane to slowly walk around.

Considering I am most days in pain with a chronic condition
Ankylosing spondylitis my Doctor is very reluctant to issue me with pain killers
I have been prescribed codeine tablets but find these make me so badly constipated and don’t always help with the pain.
I find the most effective pain relief to be Tramadol but my Doctor will not issue them.
Am I better off just leaving my practice and going to a different doctor ?
I know people who have chronic conditions and they are issued with… read more
My PCP also won’t prescribe narcotics and explained that it isn’t because he doesn’t believe they have a real purpose but the hoops they have to jump through are not worth it to him. He recommended a… read more

Have you tried pain management? You can get a referral from your primary doctor
@A MySpondylitisTeam Member, yes I miss Trace and all the barbies, made dealing with real life a little bit less cumbersome. Oh well, maybe soon one day she will be back at it. She did find a little… read more
