Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain Due To Ankylosing Spondylitis
Question: I have detected with ankylosing spondylitis which is giving too much pain, need advice on the medication or remedy for the same
Brief Answer:
Remedies like Phenylbutazone, Swimming, Joint replacement for severe arthri
Detailed Answer:
Hi there.
Ankylosing spondylitis is a multisystemic disorder of autoimmune aetiology. You may have stiff joints in the lower back, heart problems, vision problems etc.
For the pain I usually prescribe Tablet Ibuprofen 400mg twice a day and Tablet Phenylbutazone. Phenylbutazone is specific Medicine for Ankylosing spondylitis.
Also if you know swimming it is the best treatment for this condition and helps to improve joint motion.
Apply hot water bag to the painful joints.
If you have difficulty in walking and hip pain, it needs to be rule out for arthritis which may require hip replacement. An Orthopaedic surgeon needs to examine you to diagnose arthritis of the hips and plan management.
I hope I have answered your query.
I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Brief Answer:
Osteoarthritis mild. Kindly post spine X-rays
Detailed Answer:
Hi there.
This X-ray shows mild osteoarthritis in both hips, more on the right side. Also the sacro-iliac joint spaces appear narrow which can be contributing to pain.
It would be helpful to show me your spine X-ray which is more specific in the diagnosis of Ankylosing spondylitis.
