My AS was hips / ribs & sternum / lower back / neck / shoulders / shoulder blades
Why depression - they are reluctant to diagnose AS until they see sacro joints fused. If you are not depressed - why take pills for depression?

Hi. From what I understand those inflammatory markers can be normal and you can still have AS. Mine are normal but I have all the symptoms so my rheumy has ordered x-rays of my sacroileac joints to render his final opinion. If that comes back with degeneration he will make the diagnosis. I'm so sorry for your suffering I know how painful it is. Without a diagnosis it makes it harder as one can really start to doubt themselves. You might want to get a second opinion. Some docs are very black and white and unable to see the shades of gray that are present with these types of illnesses. I hope this helps.
