Answers:
Hello. Yes I've had that problem since first diagnosed in 1972.It never was a problem until last year-2007.I started getting very unsteady.I have had terrible back spasms.Indeed my first doctor thought I'd had a Heart Attack.I changed that idiot.My new doctor sent me for a scan.The trouble is in my back and neck,not my brain.Now I know a guy I communicate with and he is far worse than I. He is 'fused ' from base of spine to the top of neck.We both agreed that Physiotherapy and Acupuncture has helped considerably.I also Meditate.Tension is not good for your back.Hypnotherapy might also assist with relaxation.
It's hard to do these things when your in pain.I got a shock when I logged the condition on the net;it can amongst other rotten things cause paralysis.So I suggest you seek more professional advice because the condition can be managed.I do have back pain every day but haven't had any more serious spasms thank God. Good Luck!Health Question & Answer

I have AS but do not have the severe contractions that you seem to have. I do have some that just makes my back hurt and tighten up very hard with lots of pain. I go to a pain clinic for treatment every few months and that seems to help.Health Question & Answer
