I have had it for 20 yrs , aching spine in the morning and could barely walk with great pain in sacro joints got me to the doctor , I have been on embrel for the first two years ,and humeria for 10 years , has been a life saver for me

I didn’t know what AS was until I became a Mötley Crüe fan, because their guitarist Mick Mars has it. I admire that guy for keeping on going despite having it.

I’m affected by all of the S/S discussed here, minus the pulmonary issues. However, AS also greatly affects my hips. I’ve already had bilateral hip surgeries (2015) & feel as tho it’s time to do them again already. I believe there is too little acknowledged of all the other areas affected by AS.

This is what i have. When i fast and do gut healing remedies ( autoimmune paleo) my spine starts straightening

Thanks for the info. Suffering badly lately with multiple symptoms. What's ur take on an MRI that shows bone marrow edema, non-Union fractures and a schmorls node in my next that's breaking though the end Plate Gi issues seem to be the worse conditions I encounter been waiting 2 months for insurance to approve yet I'm over here dying In pain. 😭

I get pain pinching in my upper chest and shoulders sometimes feels like pinching . I've seen a heart Dr. Because of it. Heart disease runs in my family . I was born with spina bifida occulta in lumbar area tail bone .

Hi, thanks for this informative video. I have recently been diagnosed with viral Iritis and my history of SI joint pain is just starting to make me fearful of developing AS. I'm 27 now and I did undergo treatment for ankle and wrist pain when I was 17. That resolved after a year-long treatment with DMARD - Sulfasalazine. I'm quite active with a slender physique, which allows me to have greater flexibility in joints. The SI joint only presents when I'm physically inactive. Turns out I'm also HLA B27 positive. Should I be worried?

Best go doctors, but just because you've got the gene doesn't mean you're going to develop AS. People without that gene, can develop AS too.

Hey I was diagnosed with AS in 2015 when I was 19, I think it's best you go see a rhumatologist, HLAB27 is an indicator gene but it's not the gene responsible for AS, recently they have found two more indicator genes so that's awesome for correct diagnosis.. I know you posted a while ago now but hope you are looking into this as the sooner you start treating yourself the absolute better for your future, wish you all the best

Andy_91 sounds very similar to me at 27-28 & now @ 39, I’ve had bilateral hip surgery & have been prescribed more than 40 diff meds over the past 6 years. Stay on top of it. Stay active & don’t ever b afraid of a 2nd opinion. Regular Chiropractic care is a must for me, it makes a huge difference.
