Thanks everyone for the responses. I have not started any meds besides Indocin & steriods for the AS yet. I was just diagnosed 2 weeks ago. I was suppose to go back to Rhuemy today but the office called and rescheduled for April 5th. I had been having problems for awhile but the docs kept saying it was my MS (I knew it was not, the pain was different than what I usually experience with my MS). I had a bone scan and multiple MRI's in Feb and it showed that my saccrum was inflamed and had some fusion, the bone scan showed arthritis in both feet, ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, jaw, and saccrum. Needless to say I am a mess. I am in alot of pain and working and caring for my 1 year has been rough!!!! I am hoping that once I start some treatment I will see a big improvement but I know I may have my expectations a little high.
