Spondylitis Treatment

Spondylitis is a form of spondylopathy that involves one or more vertebral joints in which the vertebra starts swelling. The most common way of treating spondylitis is the Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen, aspirin etc., but people suffering from asthma or any other chronic stomach and kidney problems should avoid ibuprofen. An overgrowth of bones leading to abnormal joining of bones or the ‘bony fusion’ also initiates spondylitis.

Heavy and weak legs

I am preparing for an SI physical test on 10 June. I am experiencing persistent heaviness and weakness in both legs. There is very little pain, but my legs feel fatigued, heavy, and do not generate enough power while running. My endurance and performance have declined significantly, and during long jump my legs get exhausted very quickly. I have consulted multiple doctors. X-rays of my legs and lower back were normal. I have been prescribed Vitamin D supplements, muscle relaxants, recovery supplements, protein, electrolytes, and adequate hydration. Despite this, the heaviness and weakness persist. I have also tried taking complete rest for 2 days as advised, but there was no improvement. In fact, after the rest, I was unable to complete even 1 round of running. The main problem is weakness and heaviness in both legs rather than pain. What could be the possible cause, and what tests would you recommend to identify the root cause? With my physical test on 10 June, what can I do in the

I have been prescribed Vitamin D supplements, muscle relaxants, recovery supplements, protein, electrolytes, and adequate hydration. Despite this, the heaviness and weakness persist. The main problem is that my legs feel weak and do not respond properly during physical activity, even though pain is minimal. What could be the possible cause, and what tests would you recommend to identify the root cause? Also, with my physical test on 10 June, what can I do in the remaining days to improve my performance safely?
