I know this won't sound reassuring, but my early symptoms were not the typical AS symptoms. I had a more generalized mid-back pain that was constant, day and night. Slowly over the years it creept donw to my sacrum and pelvis, and is now going into my hips, sit bones and knees. The fatigue was a very slow progression.
I'll be praying for Brett
