Sally back of the spine and hip and knee pain for many years and have always thought that he was like rheumatism or rheumatism, in the pharmacy to buy some painkillers Yao Chi, good, bad symptoms. Recently he felt more and more rigid spine and joints, but could not take Tongde, to the hospital for X-ray film inspection found that the sacroiliac joint variable fuzzy, spine has a bamboo-like change. Doctors told him that he is suffering from the disease ankylosing spondylitis. Early diagnosis and treatment can reduce the bamboo-like spine in Ankylosing spondylitis, more than 16 to 30-year-old young adults, men more than women. The incidence of early lesions in the sacroiliac joint and lumbar spine, the patient was lumbosacral pain, Fajiang, will have hip pain and sciatica. After the break mitigation, increased activities. Fajiang the morning was the waist, eased slightly after the event. Lesions to the development of the thoracic spine, back pain can be a kind of chest pain and Strips. Cervical neck involvement activities are limited, the last in the entire spinal rigidity. The whole course of slow, the turn to attack and mitigation, the course of several years and even up to several decades. Ankylosing spondylitis disease was first started in the sacroiliac joint. Subsequently, usually from a bottom-up involving thoracic and lumbar cervical, resulting in violations of the spine. Late vertebra near the front and side margin, a bone bridge connecting vertebrae from top to bottom, similar to bamboo-like appearance, it is called the bamboo-like spine. Since the development of medicine, the majority of patients with ankylosing spondylitis get early diagnosis and early treatment, the incidence of spine-like bamboo has decreased significantly. There are three treatment methods For ankylosing spondylitis can stay at any one time and duration of the characteristics of up to several decades, once diagnosed, it should conduct a systematic and comprehensive treatment. Treatment methods include three aspects: ● physical therapy and physical training In patients with ankylosing spondylitis should lie hard Banchuang, from supine sleep.
