The frequency and intensity of flare-ups in ankylosing spondylitis can vary greatly from person to person. Some people may experience frequent flare-ups, while others may have long periods of remission with little to no symptoms. The duration and severity of a flare-up can also vary. Factors that can trigger a flare-up may include stress, infection, physical activity, or changes in medication. It is important for people with ankylosing spondylitis to work closely with their healthcare team to manage their symptoms and minimize the frequency and severity of flare-ups.
