Eye problems are a concern. I think it's called Iritis where the eyes are so red and sore that conventional eye drops won't fix it. Then of course there is the bowel problems....and also chest pain which could be easily mistaken for a heart attack. If anyone suffers that type of pain get it checked out immediately...just in case.

I've had back and joint pain since as long as I can remember. It wasn't until I developed uveitis that I got my diagnosis. My lower back and hips are the worst.

Hiya, yes I am the same but now have bowel problems, sores on my skin and all sorts of other problems. The Uveitis is so bad now that I can barely see. But will soldier on regardless. Hugs G

It's fascinating to me how AS affects all areas of the body. I'm also dealing with the chest pain. My doctor told me it's essentially the sternum and ribs fusing together. It's awful.

I live with pain every day. I hate having to take pain killers but I have to take blood pressure tabs, and blood thinners since i broke my knee and foot coming off my Harley - going too slow around a bend, stupid really. I've had to give up the bike now and stick to the car. My bladder, bowels, wrists, scoliosis, knees, oh knees. can't sleep much , pain wakes me up. lumbar region and Sacro ILLIAC joint - I'm in agony with that every day. can't bend over to put my socks on now. think my spine is going stiff , maybe fusing. Bladder has prolapsed because of pinched nerves in the spine. feet hurt bad some days. especially tendonitis in both Achilles ankles. It affects my eyesight later in the day when I'm tired. Yeah,, forgot to mention the sweats and ribs that sometimes feel like someone has hit me with a cricket bat!
Just shoot me!
