Ankylosing spondylitis is a cause of back pain in adolescents and young adults.
Ankylosing spondylitis is a form of chronic inflammation of the spine and the sacroiliac joints

Over time, chronic inflammation of the spine (spondylitis) can lead to a complete cementing together (fusion) of the vertebrae, a process referred to as ankylosis. Ankylo...more

Follow these dos and donâts to help your knees feel their best.
1. Donât rest too much. Too much rest can weaken your muscles, which can worsen joint pain. Find an exercise program that is safe for your knees and stick with it. If you're not sure which motions are safe or how much you can do, talk with your doctor or a physical therapist.
2. Do exercise. Cardio exercises strengthen the muscles that support your knee and increase flexibility. Weight training and stretching do, too. Fo...more

Like all autoimmune diseases, aosd has no permanent cure. However, with proper treatment it can definitely be managed such that you can lead a normal life. If left untreated, it can lead to permanent joint damage, and sometimes life threatening complications like mas or myocarditis. I strongly suggest that you consult with a rheumatologist for further management. Stopping steroids suddenly may be dangerous.

I am not sure about this. Because deformities occur your r.a duration, surface of the joint cartilage, ligaments, nature of muscles strengths. Etc. However these are all under deep inspection and tests are done by orthopedician / physiotherapist / any physician which are expert and very experienced. But whatever it may be please be cautious. Take precautions. Attent physical therapy treatment sessions for better lifestyle.

Lybrate user. As above you mentioned details joints cartilages are damaged. But don't worry first starts .put hot pack in your joints one by one nxt do some minimal movements. So you get some pain relief and some improve joint range. Finally consult physiotherapist / orthopedician at your area. No need to be worried about this.
