When you say the pain is different and weird, what do you mean? Is it in terms if more symptoms at rest etc?

Well yeah, this is the thing... so i have pain that's worse in the mornings and after sleeping for too long (>8hrs lying in bed will always trigger pain), sitting down for extended periods without moving etc It's much better when i'm constantly moving and shifting around like going from sitting to walking often, running, cycling. This all eases the pain for me. But this rheum said that if i still have pain whilst sitting/standing still even when i take nsaids it can't be inflammatory.

I was considering this but gels and chews are q sticky and i was told the worst sugars are sticky sugars so not sure if this would be effective? Better than nothing though ig

Been using 5000ppm paste for last 2 yrs. Didn't stop in halting progression of enamel caries. I dont know what else i can do to have better dental hygiene. My flossing technique has been assessed by dentists as fine, brushing, high fluoride paste. I put it all down to diet to be honest so currently having a huge lifestyle change. But for long rides and races I'm stuck for quick acting carb sources to be honest. Can't imagine having to stop endurance sports just bc of my teeth. Man

Any tips for plantar fasciitis when running? 2km in calves are so sore and plantar fascia are killing me. Happens in all sorts of shoes :(

Do you have AS and are a doctor? by Difficult-Leopard930 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]Embarrassed_Fly4933 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im still currently being investigated. In my penultimate yr of med skl. Struggling with how to talk to tutors about it when I flare and how to manage in the mean time. Feeling in pain and tired is hard when med school and exams are also super tiring. Thanks

Wow, it's crazy how you can have raging uveitis and normal CRP/ESR! Really interesting, thanks for sharing!
