Alas, I have no doctor as I have no insurance. I'm on the waiting list for a state-run deal here in Pennsylvania, but it's taking forever. I'd like to try LDN as apposed to Enbrel and the like; I really don't want to open myself up to infections/cancer/things worse than AS, if there is anything worse.

It's not really sensitive to the touch or in leaning against things, it's internal. It's as if a score of people had their hands wrapped around my spine, from the butt-bone to the neck, and were squeezing; if I alleviate the pressure in one area, it shows up in another. If this new thing is not just flare related, I'm screwed. Even if it is flare related, I'm still pretty much screwed.
