Are Balance Issues Part Of Ankylosing Spondylitis?

A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Sandpoint, ID

I have had balance problems since 1989 and walked with a cane. Sometimes now, depending on where I am going, I need a walker My balance is getting worse all the time! Scary! I walk like a duck.

Stretching makes a huge difference for me! Two a day! It’s a must before bed! I have days where I’m very weak, fatigued and off balance! My days are always different! I never now! Trying to to stay strong and stretched is important!

I have 20/400 vision in my left eye due to a Epiretinal membrane and Macular Hole. I have no idea if it is related to AS. It surely does make it difficult to read and drive, doesn't it, Nadine2. Keep trying!❤️
