A.S. ankylosis spondylitis runs in my family. Have you been tested for the B27 andogen(?). VERY IMPORTANT. If you have ever seen older folks who are "hunched over", that is because of arthritis, usually A.S., because it causes the spine to "freeze up" amongst MANY other things i.e. remember Ed Sullivan (Show). Remember how he was hunched over with a stiff neck? His spine was fused over due to A.S. Anyway, perhaps I can throw your way what I have in regards to assisting you. My older Dr. Bro got it when he was 12 and he is now on his THIRD hip. I got it when I was about 22. Talk to me.
