Talk to your doctor about what may or may not be "normal." But I suspect that lots of people with AS will tell you that this is normal. Personally, I underwent shoulder surgery seven years before I was diagnosed with AS, and the surgeon was very confused to find early contracture. Eight years later, it made sense! I hope today's a good day!
