Ankylosing spondylitis usually affects young adults; symptoms tend to start between 20 and 30 years of age. About 10%-20% of all people with AS start to experience symptoms before 16 years of age. This chronic, inflammatory disease primarily attacks the spine, and can also cause pain and stiffness in other areas of the body, like your shoulder blades, hips, and feet. Some people who have AS experience mild back pain that comes and goes, while others have chronic pain. Over time, in severe cases, the inflammation can cause the bones of the spine, neck, or rib cage to fuse together and become rigid. If bones in the rib cage fuse together, it can make breathing more difficult. Ankylosing spondylitis may be more common than was once thought. Studies show it affects an estimated 1 out of every 200 adults in the US, which comes out to about 1.1 million Americans with AS. That’s pretty close to another inflammatory joint disease—rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which affects 1.3 million people in the US. If you haven’t heard of AS, you’re not alone. Part of the reason is that AS is difficult to diagnose. There’s no one definitive test to diagnose AS, and it’s often confused with mechanical back pain—the kind caused by injury or physical strain.

Not treating ankylosing spondylitis can cause your pain to get worse over time. That’s why it’s so important to seek treatment for your signs and symptoms. Talk to your doctor and find out if you need to see a rheumatologist.

Ankylosing spondylitis usually affects young adults; symptoms tend to start between 20 and 30 years of age. About 10%-20% of all people with AS start to experience symptoms before 16 years of age. Over time, inflammation from AS can spread to the upper spine, rib cage, and neck. In severe cases, this may cause the bones to fuse together—and you can lose flexibility.

Getting regular exercise is vital in managing ankylosing spondylitis, as it can help prevent permanent stiffness and preserve your range of motion in your back and neck. It’s a good idea to meet with a physical therapist who can work with you on your overall exercise program, but here are a few exercises you can try: -Deep-breathing exercises and aerobic activities can help keep your chest and rib cage flexible. -Swimming can help keep your spine, neck, shoulders, and hips flexible. -Strength training and aerobic exercises are a good choice for overall health. -Practicing good posture is also important, as it can prevent your joints from fusing in an undesirable position.

A rheumatologist is commonly the type of physician who will diagnose ankylosing spondylitis (AS), since they are doctors who are specially trained in diagnosing and treating disorders that affect the joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, connective tissue, and bones. A thorough physical exam, including X-rays, individual medical history, and a family history of AS, as well as blood work (including a test for HLA-B27) are factors in making a diagnosis. Note that AS can present differently at onset in some people. This tends to be the case in women more than men. Quoting Dr. Elaine Adams, "Women often present in a little more atypical fashion so it's even harder to make the diagnosis in women." For example, we have heard anecdotally from some women with AS that their symptoms started in the neck rather than in the lower back. Varying levels of fatigue may also result from the inflammation caused by AS. The body must expend energy to deal with the inflammation, thus causing fatigue. Also, mild to moderate anemia, which may also result from the inflammation, can contribute to an overall feeling of tiredness.
