The main symptom is pain, localized in the lower back. It is characterized by insidious onset and persistent dull ache, which usually improves with rest after activity. As the condition progresses, joint movement may become limited due to pain, and pain may even occur during rest. The pain typically develops gradually and is described as a constant, dull ache that often worsens with activity and is relieved by rest. With disease progression, joint motion may be restricted by pain, and pain may persist even at rest.
