What is Ankylosing Spondylitis?
Ankylosing Spondylitis (pronounced ank-kih-low-sing spon-dill-eye-tiss), popularly known as AS is a gradually progressing, chronic arthritis illness that affects the spine. It is very often neglected or overlooked during the early stages.
A diagnosis like this can be difficult to get a grip on, especially since it appears to be just a nagging lower back pain.
