Stiff spondylitis is a long-term persistent inflammation related problem that mainly affects the spine joints, but the joints of the arms and legs may also be affected, which will eventually lead to the stimulation of these joints, leading to fibrosis and joint fusion. The word “stiff spondylitis” comes from the Greek word “ankylic”, which means bending. In Latin, it means “spine”. In this untreated disease, many people eventually develop curved spinal joints. This will affect up to 1% of the population. Although the specific cause of this situation is not clear, it is clear that genetic factors may be related to it. In the population with specific genetic factors, there may be infection factors that initiate immune response.

Symptoms and symptoms usually start sporadically, accompanied by slight hip, hip or waist pain, which may be related to decreased flexibility. Diagnosis is usually delayed due to slow start-up. Generally speaking, the pain is more painful in the morning and midnight, and the age of onset of pain is generally 15-35 years old. Stiffness is usually better through exercise and movement. The pain became more and more exciting. One quarter of people have ophthalmia, and nearly 50% of people have peripheral arthritis at some stage of stiff spondylitis. A few people may eventually have heart problems. A few people have poor rib flexibility and may have respiratory problems. Stiff spondylitis can cause foot pain and tendon inflammation, leading to foot injury. There may be problems with the fine movements of fingers such as shirt buttons. The results and progress of this issue are extremely variable. Stiff spondylitis is described as an aggravation and remission of the disease. At present, less than 20% of patients treated are almost completely incapacitated, and life expectancy seems never to decline. The damage may be minor. Your back may be stiff, you may not be able to reach your feet, or you may be very stiff. Because severe inflammation of several joints can affect many activities in daily life.

Anyone who has been diagnosed will sleep on a foam mattress, take physical exercise as much as possible, avoid smoking, contact patient organizations, etc., and receive a lot of education and learning. NSAID drugs are often used for initial discomfort and inflammation. After that, if sulfazolamide urinedoes not help, you can use methylthionine, and then use sulfazolamide urine. Biological agents are also frequently used today. Physical therapy is essential. It can include posture exercise, which can increase joint flexibility and flexibility through a large number of activities to prevent the development of spinal stiffness. Swimming usually helps with this. If your upper back and chest are stiff, you can also practice inhaling and exhaling.
