10 Ankylosing Spondylitis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #5: Jaw Pain
When you stop and think about it, the jaw bone is very important to us. It helps us to eat and crush our food and it also helps us to perform complex language. Life would likely be a lot more difficult for us if we didn’t have the use of our jaws. This is something that can happen in people with ankylosing spondylitis.
The inflammation caused by ankylosing spondylitis can affect the joints in the jaw, and this can be very painful. Such pain can limit the mobility of the jaw considerably, making it difficult for the patient to eat and even speak.
