hey restless,

Welcome to KickAS, I hope you look and find a lot of helpful information about AS. AS brings many extra diseases along with it as you have already found out. We try to answer most any question you may have from experiences others here have gone through on their journey through the maze. It appears you have found one of the god rheumies who had dealt with AS before.

It sounds like the doctors out you through the mill more than once in such a short period of time. Having had four myleograms myself I know those are not a party anyone would enjoy attending. My two main diagnosis are AS and degenerative disc disease which it sounds like you may have a taste of also. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago, but went through a battery of test about four years ago matching a lot of the ones you went through.

Myleograms are usually given after an mri before the doctors plan to do surgery. I did not see if you ended up having surgery or not. I hope whatever meds the doctors have you on now are giving you some relief.

Once again welcome,
Brent
