    Does anyone experience sharp pain in their ankles when walking or have an ankle "give out" on them? I am trying to figure out if this is AS related or something new. Thanks!

    Went to hospital last week and was told I was aggravating my back ,hip and pelvis and I need to use my wheelchair and then more and more permently and rest more but don't want to give in yet, walked with crutches for 20 odd years as anyone tried a rollator walker thinking it could next step before having to use my wheelchair?

    Does anyone use a walking cane on those really sore to walk days? I am thinking about getting one. I'd rather have to use a cane versus falling and breaking a hip. LOL I've found some really cool design ones online.

    Hi all, I am 35 yrs old and recently dx with undif spondylarthritis with bilateral sacrolitis (a bit of a mouthful!). As I am HLA-b27 neg my dr wont say its AS until there is full fusion. Anyway my question is if anyone else uses a stick when walking? I have difficulty walking for more then 5 mins so my OH has talked me into buying a stick to see if this will help. Are there any tips on how best to use it and how to get over the feeling of being weird, and stared at?
