I started to answer this and wound up explaining mostly my entire history. Don't know if it was long winded or just long, but i cut that out (saved it, however, if you really want to know). One of these days i will post "my story",a s it is a bit different from the typical. If there IS such a thing as typical. IT helps me to see that other people are "complicated" with other conditions besides AS.. ( altho i am NOT a "misery loves company". I HATE hearing of other people suffering...)

Yes, i have been to PT for every body part for many years, but am losing faith, especially where my shoulders are concerned. Going feels great but is really hard for me to get out of the house reliably (wheelchair) until the weather breaks. And when i do i prefer to swim (which of course is really ADDING to the shoulder stress)

however, the words of wisdom here, which i knew but i guess needed to hear.. "might help keep it at bay", "might SLOW the progress" are helpful. VERY helpful.
