BrewWa,

I'm very new to the world of AS, but I think that I understand a good routine to prevent it from getting too bad. Flexibility and constant excercise seem to be the keys...have you found anything in your experience that might be helpful? I know this isn't an AS board, but heck, since somebody posted info about this obscure condition, I might as well ask some questions!

Mine affects mostly my lower back and left hip right now. Some days I cannot even walk without a cane, and even then it's a slow move. Other days, I do not notice any pain whatsoever! A very stange disease.

I hope that dropping weight and improving my eating habits will lead to greater flexibility and the desire to exercise even more, thus improving my mobility.
