Ankylosing Spondylitis Symptoms and Signs

Painful feelings over the body constitute another symptom. Don’t relax thinking that only areas where the spine connects to the pelvis will suffer. These pains may be transmitted to the rest of the body. Patients name their shoulders, legs (especially knees and heels) as the most painful places. If there is a trauma, it would be very painful to move for a while. Swelling and feeling hot are two other factors that may show up.
