I was diagnosed in Dec. I am trying to exercise (yoga), walk, drink lots of water, eat healthier, etc..Pray daily, couldnt go without it..
Does the pain get better or lesser? How do you deal with it and daily stress?
That was diagnosed in 1984 and my first flare was 14 years earlier.. There was no internet or other resources to figure out or research what I had and what to expect. So I just lived forward and dealt… read more
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=utyL2bm1I7E. These are super easy, fun refreshing movements that are so easy to do. They are refreshing because they get blood flowing in a gentle way that makes a person feel better. It is a very simple yoga that can be done laying down, sitting and all kinds of ways. The lady on her youtube channel say it helps with weight loss. I haven’t tried hem much so not sure about that but I guess if a person starts moving a lot as opposed to not moving due to immobility… read more
Here is another view.
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.
I know AS can affect the shoulder but not sure how common or what the symptoms are like.
Thanks
Thanks everyone. I have a steroid pack my doctor gives me at home so I started it today

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.
Thank you for your response BarbieConnie ! Cute gif! I think I'll stick with my pilates bar roll to control the tension.😬 My favorite DPT left the area, but he showed me how hard the fascia tissue… read more
Anyone use a Recumbant Trike for exercise ?
I'm looking into it, as walking causes a pain in my hips that I describe as "Locking up" followed by spasm like pain in my lower back.
On the recumbant trike, your in a almost 0 gravity position, and pedaling for muscular, cardio excercise. Hoping it will work for me ! If so I'll let everyone know !
You go Max
Hi — I am positive for the HLA B27 gene. I am 57 years old. In 2018 and then again in June 2023 I had episodes of widespread body pain that lasted 8 weeks each time. I had a burning pain up and down my spine. I also had arthritic pain in the thumb joints in the base of my thumbs and pain on my front hip bones. I also had tendon pain in my shoulders.
I have also had 2 episodes of plantar fasciitis in the past 2 years. I currently have stubborn plantar fasciitis and am using Volteran gel… read more

When I found out I had AS, I had already destroyed my body and will to be active. My ability to have a better menu was out the window.
I pushed for my family to be active but to lead by example is better than arm chairing it.
I am not shy telling of my mistakes and pushing them to be better. But it's like the stories I got about going to school in 10 feet of snow uphill 15 miles away walking after doing chores since 4am. Yada, Yada. Lol.
