When it comes to living with AxSpA, I wish people spoke more about ________.

ENTHESITIS

I wish more people talked about and understood enthesitis. I suffer from both spinal and peripheral spondyloarthropathy and rarely hear people talk about ways to help with the ligament and tendon pain that nags me daily with this disease pertaining to both pSpA and AxSpA. I am in PT but my body seems to continue to have the nagging full-body pain in tendons and ligaments. I feel as if the inflammation is making my tendons and ligaments stiff and "hard" as if they are calcifying or .... (?) so I continue to exercise, remain mobile and stretch.
