I was diagnosed with Marie Strambau (sp?) Disease when he was 13, which later became AS. His spine was fused by 19.

On a side note HIS mother, my great grandmother was the 2nd person in the united states to have a total hip replacement, and the first for total knees, total elbows, and total shoulders at the Mayo clinic. She had sever rheumatism and suspected AS as well.
