AS fatigue and hand/peripheral joint pain: Hello all!

Hi there, @BookmanJr,

Welcome to our community! 😊

Thank you for sharing your story with us. Sounds like you’ve been through quite a lot already, and managing fatigue and joint pain can definitely be rough when you have a warehouse job. Many of our members with AS have mentioned similar problems, so you’re not alone in this. Have you tried including short rest breaks during your workday, light stretching, heat therapy or occupational therapy? Talking to your doctor about possible root causes or changes to your treatment could also be helpful.

I also see that you’re having trouble adding Meloxicam to your medication list. Thanks for letting us know, I'll flag this with our tech support team to help you with that.

In the meanwhile, let me tag a few members of our community to bring this to their attention:

Staying hydrated is also important. While you’re getting a lot of sleep, that sleep quality also matters. Try to maintain a regular sleep schedule, create a restful environment, and limit screen time before bed. Always consult your healthcare provider before significantly changing your routine or treatment plan. Take care!

It's great that you reached out for support. Managing ankylosing [This content has been moderated by an administrator for violating Carenity’s Terms of Use.]  spondylitis (AS) can be challenging, especially with symptoms like fatigue and joint pain.

I need your answer [This content has been moderated by an administrator for violating Carenity’s Terms of Use.]  to this question in a positive spirit.

I think you should go to the doctor and get treatment right at the beginning to avoid using too many antibiotics. Eat a full diet and rest on time, limit doing heavy work.
