  I live in Florida, where good docs are at a premium. I have had these symptoms since I was 19 or so. It was a slow progression, so I pretty much ignored it until about 10 years ago.

  

  I know I have AS..docs here either don't know it or arent interested because I can still walk.

  I am a custodian for a school district. There is a lot of bending, stretching, etc. I have constant low back/hip pain in the muscles. My thighs also are affected.

  

  Is it common for spinal joints to "pop" when bending over, straightening up and/or stretching lower back muslces?
