This does not seem to be a case of ankylosing spondylitis. Based on the clinical features, it seems that the Rheumatologist has correctly said that it is possibly fibromyalgia or BJHS. The diagnosis of AS is not only dependent on ESR or CRP. These values may be high even in infections, fever, thyroid diseases or anemia. Keep following up with the Rheumatologist and do some exercises that will help in pain relief. It is quite common to have only back pain even in fibromyalgia.
