Ankylosing spondylitis. No improvement.

Hi, well-directed allopathy gives very good results, both for mobility and pain relief, provided you don't yet have bony fusion of your spine and SI joints. You would most likely need biologic therapy to get control of your AS. But some biologics are incompatible with past TB, while some are quite safe. It needs a proper evaluation to arrive at what is the best option for you.. At present, in lockdown you would need to rely on your NSAID pain relievers prescribed by your regular doctor. And please remember to avoid steroids at all costs. Tc

Take anti inflammatory NSAID like Etoricoxib from your regular doctor

Don't use Glucocorticoids (steroids)
