Ankylosing spondilitis

2018-01-08 08:26:16
I am suffering from this disease from last 2 yr. HLA-B, MRI, X-ray confirmed the diagnosis. Sacrailitis & fusion of L5-S1 is seen. Now I am suffering from back pain periodically. It increases during physical inactivity & during sleeps. Doctor prescribed NSAIDs, those showed some adverse effects & the back pain reappeared after discontinuation of drugs. What shoud I do? Please help.
