Heat vs ice
I was curious if you find heat or ice to help better during flare ups? Thanks!
honestly, I let my body dictate what it needs. Sometimes it's summer time and hot but my back still wants heat. The longer you have AS the more you'll instinctively know what to do ( or not to do!) Good luck! 
I love heat. When I am in pain heat has been helping me a ton. I don’t know what I would do without my heating pad. Hope your doing well.

Hey Tonya how are you feeling today? Since this post have you found that any of these methods help you more then the other? I ice all the time it helps me so much. I use heat when I’m just relaxing but on high pain days or active days Ice is def my go to. Sending love 💙 Nadine (Community Member)
I couldn't tell that either made a difference for me so I haven't been using either. Just my celebrex when I'm feeling something. I’m glad something helps you I know how hard it is to find something that helps. How are you feeling today?

Depends on the pain for Keegan. Typically heat is his go to. It’s soothing and comes in many forms (bath, headed blanket, heat patches, etc.). But if it’s new pain ice can help in the first day or two.
ok perfect thank you!
