![]() Good luck getting some relief from you pain. I will never make sense of that, but it has been my best pain relief for years while I have been undiagnosed.

My AS started in my peripheral joints- ankles then knees. ![]() When the pins and needles have reduced to manageable levels, you can now start with strengthening and conditioning exercises not just to make your knee stronger, but also the surrounding muscles which will reduce the stress to the knee.I don't really have any great advice, but I will share my experience with bad knees.
