Hi Patty,
My AS problems started out with the sciatic pain......pain starting in my hips/buttock area and shooting down my legs. I've had it in various degrees....from mild pain where I had a limp in my walk to more pain and I had to use a cane and hold on to something else I would have fallen from the shooting pains. When I had severe pain, I couldn't walk, stand, sit or lay down without the shooting pains. There was no comfortable position to be in then.
But I didn't have the sciatic problem all the time. It would come and go. Maybe a couple of times a year. Altho it did come without warning for me.
