Ankylosing spondylitis affects mainly the lower back spine and large joints of the body. Medication and exercise help to some extent but the disease is not fully curable. Joint Replacement are done for larger joints like hip and knee if there is considerable disability to give a better quality of life to the patient
Next Steps
Check up by orthopaedic Surgeon to confirm the diagnosis
Mainly back, spine hip and knee
Also xrays of the problem area to identify extent of involvement
