In two words, Ankylosing Spondylitis.
Essentially, its a failure of the discs in the back, which can ultimately lead to a badly bowed back, since the spine can eventually lose its firmness.
Current plan is injections, then what's called an eblation, which fries the nerves, basically telling the brain that your back doesn't hurt. Not sure what else is involved. Right before Thanksgiving, Bette has to have shoulder surgery- arthroscopic on her rotator cuff, I believe.
