I've been trying to go swimming at the YMCA once a week in the warm pool. I'm pretty sore the next day from over doing it. It's easy to do too much and not know it until later. If you start swimming… read more

When standing up after sitting or getting up in the morning, I can barely walk for 5-10 minutes. The pain in my feet is so intense. I’m honestly scared to death I’ll end up in a wheelchair by 50.

I get a steroid shot when my legs are numb, and I can't feel my feet. It takes the swelling down so that I can feel my feet and legs. Numbness in my legs and feet are creepy. Good luck. God bless… read more
Does anyone else have shoulder pain? It started a week ago.
I don’t remember doing anything that hurt it.
I can move it and use it but sometimes I get an awful pain. My arm also feels weaker than usual and shaky.

Thanks

I seem to deal with this a lot. It can, at times, make exercise a little challenging. Also, pins and needles that come and go in different areas.
I don’t really see much literature on this. Or sites that list it as a symptom of AS.
Thanks 😊
Wonderful, thanks for the idea.
I live in constant pain and have for years. I wake up in pain...everything causes pain. Exercise actually helps.
I also take a pain killer in the am so I can get out of bed.
Ive tried everything from Gabapentin to acupuncture to opiods. All help some...but not that much.
Yep pot dose help but the state where I live it’s not legal wish it was I get some sometimes but don’t want to go to jail for it
Can’t afford the fines , bonds, lawyers and be stuck on a hard metal… read more
