You need to get a legitimate diagnosis from a doctor

Ankylosing Spondylitis is a disease of the spine. It is also called "Bamboo spine". It is where the vertebra begin to fuse together and rather than have 24 movable segments the spine becomes stiff and moves as a single unit. Depending on your age, you may get some help using Chiropractic. The longer you wait after the symptoms have manifested themselves, the harder it will be to keep any motion in the spine...eventually, even that may become impossible. You might consider a product called zeolites (check the web), especially if you can find it in liquid form. I am not saying this will solve the problem or even help it, I'm merely saying I have heard great things about it helping many things and it might help you.

Agreed. Diagnoses given over the net are not to be trusted. See a doctor, or an osteopath. I treat spondylitis on a regular basis and it could explain your symptoms, but there are some tests I'd like to do if you came to see me. If it is just spondylitis, Osteopathy can give some real relief. Simple stuff like reflexes and muscle tests can give a much clearer picture of general neurological health. Don't delay.
Ankylosing spondylitis is different to just spondylitis but both affect joints in the spine, and MS is more neurological.

It sounds as if you have a neurological problem. Go back to your G.P or specialist and inform them.

Talk to your doctor, he will diagnose what is wrong.
