hi pat, i can empathize ur son's pain since i too have AS. please try homeopathy as an alternative. most important thing is try to avoid pain killers and please dont expect overnight miracles with homeopathy it takes months to get the symptoms into remission but worth it that u dont take any pain killers or other medications. i had been on the treatment for 1yr now and touchwood i didnt touch a pain killer ever since.
