Hello,
I've recently had xrays done on my lumbar region, chest and hips and dr has mentioned AS. Hope you don't mind me asking but does anyone have this and if so what are your experiences of it?
Thanks,

Hi Charmaine,
I briefly looked up some stuff about AS last night on google and I think spondolitis of spine is different. I'm going to look up some more stuff tonight. Hope you are feeling ok

Hi again,
I looked up google and there's a sight for NASS-National Ankylosing Spondylitis Society where it gave me a brief description of both Spondylosis and AS. Spondylosis is 'wear and tear' in spine and AS is an inflammatory condition that produces new bone which leads to fusion! I don't like the sound of either :shock:

Ah, but if we didn't Google how would we find this site
I do agree though that all things in moderation, Doctors hate patients that Google.0 -
