horrilbe condition. are your hips pulling in under you? i've seen a few people with this over the years, three actually. two had it quite bad. my back is in very bad condition, but not like the pain these two were in.
Yeah, the pain can be bad sometimes but I have a pretty good pain tolerance. I rarely take any pain medication besides Ibuprofen/naproxen. I don't need a pain medication addiction so I avoid the prescription pain killers.
I've been taking Enbrel for a while, and before that Humira which I had a bad reaction to, and have gotten alleviation of some of the stiffness. Hopefully the biologics will stop some the major deformation or at least slow it down.
