Hello,
thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
As already disease is diagnosed so I would like to tell you something as,
Sacro-iliac joint is the first joint affected by Ankylosing Spondilitis .
If deformities formed in the joints than there is need for surgery.
In your case a surgeon will decide whether to operate or not.
Please consult a physiotherapist and take proper guidance for exercises.
A wrong exercise may aggravate the pain.
Good luck for you.
Dr. HET
