MikeGinnyMD, I would first like to thank you for your detailed reply to my story thus far - it's extremely helpful.

That's amazing that ENBREL has such amazing effects on you. How long did this work for? And are you still currently taking ENBREL?

My worry is with the frequency of injections...I would prefer to have an infusion every few months as opposed to once per week of injecting myself ( I know, it's different from what most prefer).

I am stuck with the inability to bend forward, along with hip/glute pain. They still are unsure whether I have mechanical back pain or AS...my signs point to AS. I am hoping that I can get some relief soon like you did!!

Paul
