I have finally got round to watching this, and I am so glad I have! Exceptional work Dr. Roberts and the team. Not only for the level of research you're doing and contribution to the overall support for our patients/members, but also how brilliant you have presented this information for all to understand. Thank you
The 'show transcript' doesn't work for me. can you fix?
Very interesting session. I have shared to my NASS branch members and to a couple of fb groups.
A very interesting and informative session. Thank you very much indeed.
I totally agree with Dr Roberts. I got AS at 17, by 24 my spine had fused. I spent years on NSAIDS and opioids so I could work, it was hard work and I knew doing more than 4 hours a day would damage me, I was a very sick person and my hips were really bad. At 30 I got a dog for companionship and to get me walking. I gradually increased how far I walked every day and in 4 years I was able to jog and walk long distances. Also I was not taking drugs to get through the day. I felt like Forest Gump it was amazing. Now my dog is older and he can`t walk very far so I don`t walk as much, I am back to having bad hips and taking opioids to get by.
Great video guys!
I've been diagnosed about a month now and they have given me some stronger anti-inflammatory tablets morning and night, definitely has helped but my pain in my Achilles is so tender so hard to jog had it for the last 3-4 years no rest or strengthen has helped it go.
A really big Thank you to Dr. Roberts, his team, the participants and NASS for this study. Very grateful for these studies.
This is EXACTLY the kind of information I was looking for! Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your tireless work, and for bringing it directly to us! Question: My job requires a lot of walking (approximately 12K steps in a 5-hour shift). I stretch my back a lot when required to bend over (as I cannot squat due to advanced knee arthritis). I rely on a heating pad on my back when I am not in motion at home. It is soothing, but is it actually doing anything helpful? Just wondering if I am doing further harm to my spine (many bone spurs throughout—“facet syndrome” and diagnosis axial spondyloarthritis) since I am doing more than the amount of walking your research shows is helpful.
My blood sugers are all over the place, lowest 4.7-highest 11.2… It's very frustrating. Is this normal for someone with ankylosing spondylitis?
