What Is The Treatment For Ankylosing Spondylitis?

I am suffering from Ankylosing spondylitis for around 7-8 years...but it was diagnosed only 1 year back. I am taking Sazo now. I was feeling fine now but from the past 2 weeks I felt sudden pain in my upper shoulders, now both my calf are paining and the pain is such that if I apply some ointment it hurts touching there. I am feeling very tired even after getting from bed.What can be the reason of such symptops.Everything is same here except the change in weather ..from sunny days its raining a lot these days.

Hello,

I have studied your case with diligence.

You may need proper exercises and lifestyle modifications.
In ankylosing spondylitis there is progressive stiffness so you need vigorous daily exercises and physiotherapy.
Epidural steroid injection may help if pain persists.
Tab indocap 25mg is good to relive stiffness and pain of ankylosing spondylitis.
You can continue sazo 500 .
There can be aggravation of symptoms due to weather changes.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.
