Kyphosis
PattiB
When I first started going to pain clinics and having trouble with my joints and shoulders and hips, I was told I had a kyphosis. I had been in several car accidents that required x-rays and they never revealed a curvature. Has anyone gotten this diagnosis with AS?
Hi PattiB,
Thanks for reaching out.
AS can cause complications to the spine including spinal fracture, kyphosis, and stenosis. As we wait for others to chime in with their personal experiences, I thought I'd share this article that explains the relationship between kyphosis and AS: https://ankylosingspondylitis.net/spinal-issues
