Degenerative Joint Disease - Health, Fitness, and Sports

At this point my GP thinks I might have Ankylosing Spondylitis. Basically it is a form of arthritis that affects the spine and major adjacent joints.

Aka poker/bamboo spine what this disease does is fuse vertebra and impinge nerves as it attacks and destroys hip and shoulder joints...

In the last two months or so, I've gone from having a nagging pain in my right hip to being almost incapable of walking!

I really need to be able to walk to get from class to class at school and I need to be able to walk to do my current job as well...

I'm a month away from an appointment with a rheumatologist that might be able to help but might not....

Right now not being able to sleep due to chronic pain and not being able to walk are huge problems...

Any advice on how to cope would be greatly appreciated.
