I can very much understand your worry over your daughter. I am also very worried about my youngest son. He too has complained about certain pains in his legs and hips and even the bottom of his foot. All of his complaints came before I was finally dx'ed in Dec. I know what the pain is like for me and my biggest fear in the world is that my children will have to go threw what I have had to. I am very glad that you have made the appointment for her to be seen by her dr. I hope that they are informed enough about AS to know if that is what it is or not. I know form experience that if the doctors here in my area had a clue about AS I could have gotten proper treatment years ago. My case has been text book all the way, and it is very sad that the disease had to have already progressed into my neck before I could finally get a dr to understand how I was feeling. I pray that your little one doesn't have AS.

Blessings
