A pain in the knee

May 20, 2021 | Diary | 0 comments

Woke up today feeling a little bit ropey and I’ve just realised that is probably because of the second Coronavirus jab I had yesterday. Didn’t feel great after the first one so hoping that’s it.

The main thing is that I now have ankylosing spondylitis pain behind my left knee so that’s FUN.

This seems to be a new thing which I’ve never had before and it’s frustrating because it feels like the AS reached this kind of breaking point.

It’s like it’s slowly colonising my body. Ugh.
