I've had AS for over 40 years, as well as RA and it is not possible for me to raise my arms or bend my neck or do a hip flexor, despite my artificial knees and hips or even sit in a standard sized chair for that matter. I Don't believe that "Willy" has AS. In fact, it was during a yoga session that I discovered that I had AS, when I couldn't bend my spine any longer.
my question is if exercise does not reduce ESR/CRP whether exercise can prevent joint damage? is there any way of measuring how important exercise is versus medication? I exercised my whole life (been quite active in team sports) but have much of my damage done prior to moving to biologics.
Thanks, this was so helpful.
It's hard sifting though opinions to find proven scientific treatments. Still can't find a consensus on diet yet.
