Numbness and weakness in the legs can be a bothersome and concerning symptom for some people with spondylitis. These sensations can range from light tingling, like "pins and needles," to complete numbness and immobility. They may affect just a portion of the legs or feet or the entire body from the hips down.

Yes. I had lumbar fusion L3,4,5. Severe years after that had to have decompression and fusion of C2-down to T2. Recently had left hip replaced and need right replaced. AS has attacked my spine, hips, shoulders and hands. Still have left leg and left arm numbness. But pain level improved after hip replacement. So many years I was told the nerve pain in my thighs was my fibromyalgia. It was my hips.
