At the age of 20 i had been working 2 full time jobs. I spent all my time running from grill to freezer and apperntly this caused compression and expansion in my bones piching my nervous system causing me to pass out. That is what the orthopedic doctor explained to me was happening and it was being caused by a condition known as A.S. I tested hlb a27 positive and in the past 18 years have been diagnosed by 2 other doctors. That is until today all my x-rays looked good she said except for my neck. She said you have arthritis there and a narrowing of the nervous path, But i believe you have fibromylagia. I know fibro and A.S can be misdiagnosed. I have all clasic symptoms of A.S. Lower back and hip pain and stiffness, rib pain, sternum cracks, the clasic posture issue. Blah Blah Blah... So now she wants me to see a spine specialist. I honestly belive he wll come back with A.S. Just need to vent some its frustrating. My wifes ready to pull her hair out. Sometimes it just doesn't seem worth it to go to the doctor its just a vicious cycle of the run around.
