Yes, sciatica and spinal stenosis are related to spondylitis. Here are some key points from the knowledge base:

- Sciatica in Spondylitis: Spondylitis can contribute to the development of sciatica. This happens when spinal stenosis (narrowing of the space within the spine) pinches the sciatic nerve root, causing pain.
- Changes in Spinal Structure: In ankylosing spondylitis (AS), changes like new bone growth, bone spurs, and bone fusion can compress the sciatic nerve.
- Inflammation: Repeated inflammatory attacks in spondylitis can lead to spinal changes, resulting in sciatica.
- Spinal Stenosis: This condition can cause pinched nerves in the leg, known as sciatica, and can occur with spondylitis.
