I've been looking for books I can order, that maybe Maricar or Timmy can bring back. Chanced upon a guidebook by an organization called Medifocus. The Web site has a sneak peek into the book with the following passage, which is a good description of what I felt:
The pain in ankylosing spondylitis is initially caused by enthesitis that occurs at the sacroiliac joint. The number of sites of enthesitis and their location are two important determining factors as to how much impact AS will have on quality of life. For example, if enthesitis appears in the Achilles tendon at the back of the heel or in the plantar fascia at the base of the heel, walking can be significantly impaired. Enthesitis may deteriorate into enthesopathy - calcification of joints, tendons, and ligaments - that may further impair movement and mobility.
