Quadriceps pain. Not sure if coming from limping due to Achilles enthesitis or it’s on it’s own. Sat down today, stood up with new pain. + of course my bilateral iritis with floaters in my right eye looking like Star Wars fleet ready to fire!

Hi folks I’m new here and really don’t know how it works. I’ve not been diagnosed with A S but I have all the symptoms. 3 weeks I was Diagnosed with iritis , the paper that the Ophthalmologist gave me said it was caused by a auto immune disease with a list of some possible autoimmune diseases that I might have. A S was one of them. List of symptoms Back pain mostly lower/ middle Buttocks pain Right hip Neck Knees Feet Joints shoulder wrists jaw forearm fingers Migraines Fatigue Sensitive to both hot and cold weather

Hi Shannon80, Welcome to the Forum. Perhaps this page would be helpful? The white board animation video is very informative. https://www.spondylitis.org/Could-I-Have-Spondylitis This member referral directory is a list of rheumatologists that people have found helpful.

I have lots of floaters in vision. Is that related to AS?

I have lots of floaters in vision. Is that related to AS? In my case yes. In never had them or even knew what floaters are before first episode of iritis. One oftlamologist told me as long as they float and not too many of them then it’s fine. Worst when they start to gather at the back of the eye ðŸ‘.

1st symptoms came on 1985 Severe low back pain / SI joint pain; felt like my leg was dangling - pain 10# - very difficult rolling over in bed, standing up from sitting, driving - pain less often these days which is maybe due to SI joints being totally fused? Buttocks pain / Quadracept muscle pain Radiating Quad and Hamstring pain down my leg Hx rib pain; back pain, neck pain causing changes in my vision. Bilateral Uveitis - Anterior and Posterior - Early on warning symptoms include headache, scalp tenderness and pain and when active feels like a toothache in my eye socket. Pain especially bad when in bright light or trying to read/ focus my eyes. I have finally learned to wear sunglasses when indoors when a flareup occurs to keep the iris open or more relaxed. It helps! When in an active flare up; Fatigue creating nap times and needing more sleep at night but difficult to sleep because of the pain. Emotionally down; Weakening grip strength - maybe from arm issues below or just losing strength? NEW this summer Rt / Lt Shoulder and high (right) arm pain. At first notice, tingling/numbness in my right hand/fingers upon waking. Following symptoms have evolved on my right arm; A pain beyond anything I felt came on - overnight. Have no idea what triggered. Felt like a wave of pain. Pain seemed to regress when I would hold still or hold my breath and keep my arm's elbow tucked under into armpit. Change posture so am hunched over...? Pain was beyond 10# when bicep and/or tricep do their thing - pain felt like the muscle was trying to twist. Deep bone pain in arm. Wrist and elbow joint pain on Right Arm- seems like I can feel pressure within in wist upon waking. Stiff and pain #6. Wrist doesn't appear to swell. Limited range of motion with my right arm/shoulder due to pain or due to lack of use. It's been 5 months since I've limited arm/shoulder use because of pain. Rt Arm/shoulder points of tenderness includes scapula, high right corner of chest and tricep and bicep - 6" down from the shoulder. The pain has been excruciating when the cramp like situation occurs. My right shoulder feels "sick". Very disruptive to sleep, sitting and working. X ray from primary showed nothing. Primary questioned rotator cuff but don't feel like I had done anything to cause a RC issue. This intensity of the pain feels like my pelvic/lower back did when it was inflamed and actively fusing (80's & 90"s)
California, USA Reoccurring Bilateral Uveitis Dx 1985 Reiters Syndrome Dx 1985 AS Dx 2015 SI joint fused

Hi everyone! Just joined, so still figuring things out.
I was diagnosed in the spondyloarthropathies family in Feb of this year, but I think it is turning into AS. I am 28, diagnosed when I was 27 !
I have shoulder pain, feels like my shoulders are always strained elbow pain wrist pain, finger pain/ sausage fingers hip pain, leg pain/ leg weakness feels like my legs will give out from under me knee pain/ swollen knees (have had knee problems since I was 13, RA said this could have been a sign of early Spondy) ankle pain, super swollen constantly Achilles pain, and bursitis on both sides. toes hurt sometimes. Also lower back pain, and sometimes upper back pain. Sciatica pain on right side extreme fatigue/ dizziness (but combined with depression/ anxiety extreme fatigue isn't new to me) pain sleeping / waking up multiple times a night. Can't remember when I slept through a whole night. and new are eye floaties
I was just curious as to if it could still be AS as my main symptom isn't constant back pain? I see that a lot of you have similar symptoms as I do, so that does make me more convinced it is AS.
I am in constant pain 24/7 and unfortunately I can't see a RA dr till January again because I moved states. So managing my pain is a nightmare. I can't find anything to relieve it.
