Ankylosing spondylitis can get pretty painful and hard to describe accurately at times. Accurately describing the type of pain you feel to your doctor is vital to help them treat it. Helpful information includes things like the duration of the pain, the location, the triggers, how it feels, and factors that make the pain less or worse. Try to also keep a record or diary of your pain to track the symptoms.
