Hi. Dear sir. AS or ankylosing spondylitis mainly affect central joints like spine hips and shoulders. Usually hand and foot joint involvement is not a sign of AS. You should check your HLA B 27 to see if you are actually AS only. Regular exercises and keeping engaged and active is the medication to prevent fusion of joints. Take care. Thanks
