For me, mornings were always the worst times for back and hip pain. I think it was mostly just due to inactivity of sleeping because any prolonged times of inactivity would cause problems, such as sitting too long at a desk. After I crawled out of bed, a hot shower would help loosen me up so that I could function. As long as I stayed active, the back and hip pain would not be crippling bad, but I soon as I stopped, the pain would flare up greatly again.
All in all, I would say that the problem could mostly be attributed to body temperature, noting that the causal problem was from AS and its relation to klebsiella. I even noticed that if I a got a fever from some other sickness, my back and hip pain would decrease.
However, I haven't had such bad pain problems once I got the no-starch diet figured out.
