Suggest Treatment For Upper Leg Pain When Diagnosed With Spondylitis
I have Anklylosing Spondylitis but recently have started having upper leg pain. Am currently on SIMPONI for about 5 years. My doc took me off of oxy when PRINCE died so now I do not take any pain meds. NSAIDS gave me severe diarrhea which I am still dealing with every day for six months.
