I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis about 15 years ago. Thankfully mine seems to be a mild case.
I have a regular, annual checkup with my rheumatologist. I really like the guy. Only trouble is, he's not an active person and his concerns are focused (understandably) on making sure I'm mobile, not in pain, not fusing, etc. rather than worrying about whether I'm able to train effectively in the context of someone with AS.
So, I'm wondering if there's a rheumatologist on the forum who wouldn't mind answering a couple questions about NSAID use in the context of ankylosing spondylitis and endurance training. I'm happy to ask publicly or via PM depending on whether you'd be willing to chat publicly or privately. I obviously won't hold anyone liable for any information, recommendations, advice, etc. Thanks!
