Some pain ends. Chronic pain can last for decades.

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. #FiercelyFightingArthritis #AnkylosingSpondylitis #MySeveralWorlds #SpondyWhat #PAM2026 #PainAwarenessMonth
