Ok. I am totally frustrated with my husband. Unfortunately, they didn't give him a FIRM diagnosis so he is doubting he has AS but I am convinced. He has pain in one buttox that shoots down the leg. He has for years had pain when getting up in the morning. We always thought it was our bed. He has had 2-3 iris inflimations which needed treatment. He is sensitive to the sun light even on cloudy days. I asked why he thinks he doesn't have it and he says his spine does not hurt and he doesn't have a disease. His pt yesterday also gave doubt with the comment that it seems only to be inflamation around the SI and therefore may not be AS. I personally think he is in denial. I want answers so we can treat and slow down whatever he is going through before it gets worse. I know you all aren't docs but are experts in a very personal way. Does AS seem like a misdiagnisis to you? Could he have all those symptoms and NOT have AS?
Farinelli- My boys are 4 yrs. and 8 weeks. I am still very much in protective mommy mode after just having a baby. I take comfort in knowing time and odds are on their side.
Thanks to you all for all the support and advice and words of hope.
