Hi everyone,

I'm hoping to get some help understanding the different synonyms for ankylosing spondylitis. Does anyone here have any experience with this condition? I've heard it referred to by several other names, but I'm not sure which ones are correct. Could someone please share any information they may have about what other terms are used to refer to ankylosing spondylitis? Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you.
