When do ankylosing spondylitis symptoms start

[measqu]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum and I wanted to ask a question about ankylosing spondylitis. I'm trying to understand when the symptoms of this condition typically start to appear. Does anyone here have any personal experience with ankylosing spondylitis, or know someone who does? Can you tell me more about when the symptoms usually start to show? I'm hoping to get a better understanding of this condition so I would really appreciate any advice or insight that anyone can share.

When do Ankylosing Spondylitis Symptoms Start?

The exact age at which ankylosing spondylitis symptoms start can vary, but it is generally believed to develop in early adulthood. Symptoms may start slowly, with back pain and stiffness that come and go, and gradually become more severe over time. Some people may experience symptoms as early as their teenage years, while others may not notice signs of the disease until they are in their 30s or 40s. It is important to note that ankylosing spondylitis can also develop later in life, so it is important to be aware of the signs and symptoms, regardless of age.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) symptoms usually begin in early adulthood, usually between the ages of 17 and 45. However, the exact age can vary from person to person, and in some cases, symptoms can start even earlier or later. Common signs and symptoms of AS include chronic pain and stiffness in the lower back, hips and buttocks, as well as fatigue and reduced mobility. Other symptoms can include pain and stiffness in the neck, chest and shoulders, and inflammation of the eyes. Additionally, many people with AS experience painful and swollen joints, especially in the feet and hands.

Ankylosing spondylitis symptoms typically start between the ages of 17 and 45, although they can begin at any age. The most common symptom is low back pain and stiffness that gradually worsens over time. Other common symptoms include chest pain, fatigue, weight loss, and difficulty sleeping. In severe cases, the spine may become completely fused, leading to a hunched-over posture. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to see a doctor for diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
