Bob - my rheumy is head of the department at a major hospital in Portland. He treats several AS patients but he just hates it if I question him about treatment or if I complain. He is of the old school where the doctor is supposed to be the one with the answers. We all know that is not the way it is any longer - too much for them to know and keep up on. He is very conservative in his treatment and I like that but now I am in worse shape and I need him to be more aggressive. That's why I am asking about pain times so maybe I can swamp him with hard facts. Thanks for taking the time.
