How long does ankylosing spondylitis last?
#1
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic condition, which means that it lasts for a long time, often for life. However, the course of the disease can vary widely among individuals, and some people may experience milder or more severe symptoms than others. The symptoms of AS, such as back pain and stiffness, can come and go, and the condition may also progress at different rates in different people.

Treatment for AS aims to manage symptoms and prevent further damage to the joints and spine. With early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, it is possible to slow or even stop the progression of the disease and help people with AS maintain a good quality of life. However, there is no known cure for AS at present, and ongoing management and monitoring are typically required.
