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.

SI Pain: 2/100 | Rib Pain: 0/100 | Concrete Back: 9/100 Just a quick entry today. Everything was fine; it was a beautiful sunny day. I went for two walks and, generally, felt great. However, I had a slight sensation in my right sacroiliac joint. This first occurred...
