Ankylosing spondylitis
As diagnosed in anky protocol mri report and other earlier CRP/ESR tests, I have ankylosing spondilitis. Facing reall stiffness in morning and unable to walk. Nsaid tablets have become ineffective for me as I had been using them since 4 years.
Pls suggest if biologics are preferable to check the disease progression or there are sideffects of using biologics/tnf blockers.
