You and your doctor are partners on your health care team—you need to be an active member. At your appointments, it’s important that you express any questions and concerns you have so that you and your doctor can come up with the right plan for you. Here are some tips for making sure you make the most of your time with your doctor:

Come prepared: The more details you can provide about your symptoms, the more it helps you and your doctor to decide on a treatment plan and overall care. Jot down symptoms when you have them and bring the list to your visit.

Be specific: Describe the ways AS is impacting your daily life and your ability to do the things you enjoy. Avoid vague phrases like "I'm fine" and "okay.” It's important to clearly describe when, where, and how your symptoms appear.

Ask questions: Bring a written list of questions with you to the appointment so that you don’t forget anything. Remember to ask about exercise. Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) symptoms like back pain and stiffness can be helped with proper exercise and stretching. Ask your doctor what's right for you.
