Oops! I just saw the link you posted (Drizzit) on chest expansion norms. My questions are the following;
1. Is this "New York" criteria the new standard?
2. Why doesn't it ask about the genetic marker BL-27?
3. What is your overall purpose for posting this?
My questions are sincere. Honestly, I don't fit most of the common criteria for A.S. symptoms. I am a 46 year old male. I started having shoulder pain 15 months ago. Then both shoulders. That is where the majority of my pain was. Then, some neck pain, etc...
What advice would any of you have for me as far as what to do next? I am taking Enbrel and it seems to be aleviating symptoms, but, I am concerned about side effects. I am trying to see if my diet (starches) is a factor in the amount of pain I have.
