Pain and stiffness. Constant pain and stiffness in the low
back, buttocks, and hips that continue for more than three months. Spondylitis often starts around the
sacroiliac joints, where the sacrum (the lowest major part of the spine) joins
the ilium bone of the pelvis in the lower back region.
Bony fusion.
Spondylitis can cause an overgrowth of the bones, which may lead to
abnormal joining of bones, called "bony fusion." Fusion affecting
bones of the neck, back, or hips may impair a person’s ability to perform
routine activities. Fusion of the ribs
to the spine or breastbone may limit a person's ability to expand his or her
chest when taking a deep breath.
Pain in ligaments and tendons. Spondylitis also may affect
some of the ligaments and tendons that attach to bones.
Tendonitis
(inflammation of the tendon) may cause pain and stiffness in the area behind or
beneath the heel, such as the Achilles tendon at the back of the ankle.
