[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was diagnosed at age 28 after having recurrent severe iritis. Yes, that is a manifestation. I was tested and B27 positive. I had terrible gnawing back pain that worked its way up my spine. This was before OTC NSAIDS. Later, Aleve was helpful. Now in my 70s, I have little pain and low inflammation scores on blood tests but a very inflexible spine and must be careful. I did not do the one exercise I was told to do....spend 15-30 minutes a day lying in the floor chin in hands. As a result, I fused bent forward a bit in that old lady stoop. Stupid me! I am sure there is better treatment now. Get a rheumatologist. Mine retired. [/quote] THIS is consistent with AS. A lot of what other people are describing is not.[/quote]
