I too was basically diagnosed by my Chiropractor when he was no longer able to crack my back by jumping on it. He ordered the X-rays and bet a 20 that I showed fusion on them. Sure enough when they were looked at there was obvious fusion of my S.I. joints. He then called his buddy the Rhumy and told him that he was owed some money and that I was going to be his new patient. My G.P. whom I'd been back to see hundreds of times complaning of pain and stiffness had diagnosed me with everything from Hemmoroids to Meningitis (was right about the roids) but never even mentioned the word Akaylo Ankilosi Ankyel, [**BLEEP**] maybe that's why he never mentioned it.
