That sounds painful. Foot problems are not uncommon with AS. You aren't alone. How are you doing now? Warmly, kathy (Team member)

funny thing about this is that steroids treat the bladder and jaw inflammation but cause the cataracts! It's really not funny though, is it? I'm coping though, thank you for asking!

Severe heel pain and no sleep

I am so sorry to hear that. A real Achilles heel! I found this article that might interest you about some ways to bring relief for heel pain. Have you tried any of these ideas? Warmly, Kathy (Team member)

totally agree with heel pain. Apparently I have a condition called Haglund’s deformity. Lots of sweeping in my left heel, Achilles tendon, bone spurs - yay
