Generally, I would say that good posture, diet, and exercise will keep you straight. A few cases are so virulent that the victims can't do anything about the fusing, which can happen in a few short years.
AS symptoms started 1991. Official dx in 2006 with HLA-B27+, fused SIJ, bone spurs in back, extreme rib/hip pain, and other family with SpA. Started Enbrel in 2006 with good results, but stopped in 2010 due to nerve damage (MS) from it. Getting good results with no-starch diet since 2011.
