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.
Chronic Back & Hip pain, stiffness, dull ache pain in neck, shoulders, brain fog, fatique, sometimes leg pain, knee pain occurs when going up stairs, foot and ankle pain with pins and needle sensation, sometime my toes have a numbness to them, pain increases when I'm trying to do simple house chores such as hoovering, washing up and standing in same postion to long cause stiffness pain, wrist and shoulder pain worsens if I'm whisking, or mixing, walking my knee seem to give way and legs feel heavy, sometimes i get a sharp stabbing pain in my chest, my right side seems to be affected more, its all very frustrating and miserable, having all these different pains and starting to not be able to see what i can do that won't cause more pain, i would love to know what it feels like to be pain free as many of us would.
It is quite unsettling to hear about the challenges you go through while trying to manage spondyloarthritis. I'm so sorry. Chronic pain can be extremely overwhelming and isolating, and it’s entirely understandable to be frustrated when it feels as if everything you do leads to more pain and misery. If it helps any, I go through the same. You are not alone in this. You can always count on us here in the AxSpA community to listen. We understand this kind of pain. Thanks so much for opening up about what you go through. I do hope you find relief at different moments during the day. I hope your pain eases up, even if for just a moment.

I've lost the motion in the ocean.
SI joint pain, low back pain, and discomfort in my right shoulder and ribs. The stiffness and fatigue often leave me feeling drained, making everyday tasks feel daunting. The sleepless nights add another layer of difficulty.

Have you found anything that provides a bit of relief?

Chronic deep dull back pain ruins the life

There is nothing quite like AxSpA pain.
It certainly can be debilitating.
Sending you positive thoughts for gentler days ahead.
