Strutsy,
My daughter who is 21, had to have her wisdom teeth cut out because they where putting to much pressure on the back of her jaw causing it to hurt badly. She also had a diffcult time eating or just opening her mouth. Once removed she had no more problems. AS part of it when I was into about four years of not knowing I had AS and was not on medications I experienced the same thing. Was not caused by wisdom teeth for I have none. You can experience the same systoms you are know with AS however if you are on medication they usually do not pop up but every know and then. I have had problems for several months and then went away and so far has never shown up again. Good luck and peace be with you.
Rickey
