Spondylitis Treatment
Ankylosing spondylitis is basically an autoimmune disease that includes spine and sacroiliac joints which is also called spondylarthritis. 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. Spondylitis causes a persistent pain and stiffness in the lower portion of the back, hips and remains for several months.

Lower back pain with even 2min standing
Lower back pain from 2months - X-ray done -initial findings no nerve compression or disc issue -concluded muscle spasm. From X-ray spine is completely straight due to muscle stiffnes and the complete body load is coming on spine hence the pain. been advised for physics therapy for a week to relieve the muscle stiffness.

After standing still for 5mins the pain travels from lower back towards toward front upper thigh from sides forming a C-Curvature path from back to front via sideways and ceases.

Rotator cuff strain shoulder impingement
28-year-old male with right shoulder pain after a forceful volleyball serve 1.5 months ago. Symptoms initially improved after I stopped playing sports but flared up again 7–8 days ago. Orthopedic examination diagnosed rotator cuff strain with a positive impingement test. Current symptoms include burning/crawling sensation around the right shoulder blade, occasional tingling, and stiffness around the right shoulder and upper trapezius region. A neurologist documented a right shoulder injury and referred me back to orthopedics. I have not had an MRI or started physiotherapy yet. Given the burning/tingling symptoms, I'm unsure whether I should continue orthopedic treatment or whether this could be a neurological issue.
