WELCOME, Joe:
We can turn the fusion clock back about two years is all, so if stiffness is only pre-fusion (fibrosis), there is some hope of regaining some range of motion.
Understanding that the biologic drugs are not actual "treatment," but can be useful in helping to reduce the pain, it is important to attack AS with more than one treatment--and the overall majority of this comes from ourselves; our lifestyles.
The exercise is important, and You will be very happy to learn that Carol Sinclair's NSD will help to reduce the weight; hope You will check it out on NSD and Diet Forum here.
Whatever You decide, we are happy to have You as a member and I want to wish You
HEALTH,
John
