"I’m feeling like my toes need unfrozen. lol
Are Itchy ankles a sign of AS or is it my Neuropathy?it’s like there are little blood veins sticking out that are irritated by socks. Anyone
else have this ? "
- I’ve never noticed that the itching occurs only when I’m really tired, but I’m going to note the next time that it happens. Thank you for the response.
Ron- Thank you for the response. Itching just makes you want to dig in and scratch but I haven’t yet. lol. I have some Mometasone Steroid cream and it certainly does help.
Once again thank you.
Ron
I have never heard of itching as being a direct symptom of AS, but it definitely is a symptom of overactive nerves and pain. It's also a symptom I have when I get really tired and I need to keep myself awake, but that might only be me 🤔 Hope that helps!

In my experience, the itching I get is from my central pain syndrome and neuropathy I developed when I had injury and surgery of my neck and spine. Neuropathy can cause sensations like itching, tingling, or a feeling of discomfort. It's also possible that symptoms could be related to other factors such as circulation issues, dermatological conditions, or even the way your socks interact with your skin. Truly, the only way to know is to bring it up with your treating physician. They may be able to offer some solutions that will bring relief. I am right there with you, and get so irritated from the itching with very little relief. Hope your holiday is bright and merry. Warmly - Rebecca (community moderator)
