For #ArthritisAwarenessMonth I'm sharing a short AxSpA signs and symptoms list.  

#AxSpA is a complex disease. Its severity and progression can vary greatly among individuals.

✔️ Has your pain started before the age of 45? 
✔️ Has your back pain lasted from more than 3 months? 
✔️ Does your pain get worse with rest? 
✔️ Do you have pain in your hips and buttocks?
✔️ Do you wake up from pain at night?
✔️ Are you stiff for more than 30 minutes in the morning?

This list is not exhaustive. Always discuss your symptoms with your medical provider.

17 long years of waking up in pain & feeling like someone took a meat tenderizer to my body. I don't know how we get through other than through willpower. If I didn't have basic pain treatment options, I don't know where I'd be now.

LIFE WITH CHRONIC PAIN 

17 long years of waking up in pain and feeling like someone took a meat tenderizer to my whole body. I don't know how we get through this day after day other than through willpower. If I didn't have basic pain treatment options, I don't know where I'd be now.

Chronic pain is a severe mental health crisis too. I wish people recognized pain as a disease in addition to being a severe mental health crisis. Mental health is directly related to pain. It is pain's unrecognized partner in crime.

Imagine living with several diseases known as the most painful diseases in the world and they are measured as being equal to or higher than the pain experienced during childbirth. The McGill Pain Index built the index on patient responses.
