What symptoms of AS do you experience?
Chronic, long-term back pain is one of the most commonly reported health problems in the United States. Not surprisingly, back pain is also the most reported symptom by people living with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).
Other symptoms may also occur with axSpA, such as uveitis, fatigue, psoriasis, heel, shoulder, foot, and other joint pain.
My feet turn a light color of blue and my toes swell. Is that due to AS or circulation?
Perpetual soreness in Achilles tendons, frequent soreness in insteps, joint pain in my toes, plus random shooting pains in any part of my feet
Severe neck and back pain. Unable to sleep many nights. Ibuprofen causes me to gain weight, other meds make me puke. Have had injection in my neck (haha) did not help at all. Years ago a rheumatologist said he didn't see damage so it wasn't bad.
I am sorry you are having trouble finding a treatment that works for you. Sleepless nights, weight gain, and nausea are awful! You mention that, years ago, a rheumatologist didn't see significant damage. Have you seen one recently? AxSPa is a progressive illness, so another visit may be worthwhile. Another visit may also lead you to some of the newer treatments that might be available to you. All the best, Kathy (team member)
Pain all over
I hate to for you. AS symptoms all over the place can be so frustrating. Do you have anything that makes it a little easier to get through those painful days? -Latoya (Team Member)
