In addition to the news we post here on spondylitis.org regarding new studies, personal stories, treatment info and more, we here at SAA keep an eye on popular press outlets so we can find ankylosing spondylitis stories when they appear elsewhere in the media. This week we bring you two stories that reached the popular press in the last few weeks.

The first comes to us from New Bedford, MA, and SouthCoastToday.com where Paul G. Donohue, MD, answers questions from a reader regarding ankylosing spondylitis:
