Ankylosing Spondylitis, Back knee pain
Are there side effects of DMARDs? Recently having a pain on the back side of knee, mostly while straightening the leg, walking. Cause and remedy, Please. HLA B27 is positive. X-ray report says partial sacralization on L5. Severe pain on lower left side; hip, waist, hip joint on the front side, at times the whole left leg. I do some morning stretching exercises. Pain killers give relief, but I don't want to take any more pain killers. Please suggest some remedy, and sleeping postures.
