Hmmm...interesting. Well, if activity is part of treatment...then I think I have that area covered. This stiffness upon waking up, is getting to be unbearable. And the fact that my back DOES feel better with movement, makes me wonder if I might be dealing with AS. I checked out a few websites, and the symptoms do match what I've been experiencing for years. I think a visit to a rheumatologist is in order.
