Yes, people with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) can experience pain in areas other than the back, including the shoulders and chest. Here are some relevant points from the knowledge base:

- Shoulder Pain: About 33 percent of people with AS have inflammation in the hips or shoulders. Shoulder pain can start early in certain forms of AS and may affect one or both shoulders.
- Chest Pain: Chest pain in spondylitis is often due to costochondritis, which is inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs and breastbone. This can cause sharp pains that may travel to nearby areas like the back.

If you experience such pain, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and management.
