Ankylosing Spondylitis

Ankylosing spondylitis is an inflammatory disease that, after time, due to which some of the small bones in the spine fuse. This makes the spine less flexible and may result  in a hunched-forward posture. If ribs are affected, it leads to difficulty in breathing deeply.
It affects men quite often than women. Signs and symptoms are typically shown in early adulthood. Inflammation also may occur in other parts of the body mostly, eyes.
There is no cure for ankylosing spondylitis, but medication can lessen the symptoms and perhaps slow progression of the disease.
Early signs and symptoms may include pain and stiffness in the lower back and hips, especially in the morning and after a  period of inactivity. Neck pain and fatigue also are common. By the passage of time, symptoms might worsen, improve or stop at irregular intervals.
