Ankylosing Spondylitis Treatment: What They Don't Tell You

[@brunogarciaderossi1752]

I'm from Brazil, recently diagnosed with AS. Thank you for this orientations, I'm also radiologist. This is very good medical advice.

[@rheumatologistoncall]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your insight! Thank you for watching my videos! There is more than one in AS!

Got diagnosed 3 months ago, treated with Leflunomide for 2 months and no improvement. Finally decided to start Infliximab and felt better almost instantly. What would happen if I don’t continue the treatment?

[@jellybean9319]

Yes Dr Gurnita, This is useful and informative advice. Emphasises the importance of a holistic approach when thinking about this condition. It is nice to get informed from a rheumatology professional , as so many questionable videos out there, of people claiming to have cured their condition.

[@rheumatologistoncall]

Thank you!

I just found your channel …..meloxicam is hellish and I stopped all NSAIDS 15 years ago …..do you have any exercises suitable for the SI joint and lower back for AS sufferers ? Thank-you Doc 🙏🙏🙏

Misdiagnosed for almost 3 years .. staph infection of the spine and 2 rods put in my back.. pt .. pain management..lots of mris and finally was told i have AS ..my neck is locked and im already hunched over like a 90 year old ..trying to get into a rheumatologist soon.. i really hope there is help at this point ..drs all told me to go on disability.. the pain is unbearable..im so damn tired ..and im not old enough to retire .. how are you supposed to pay all your bills and live off disability?....

[@firefly5574]

I hear you. Such a demoralising account of suffering. I hope you find your way…. I too have AS, undiagnosed for decades after onset of symptoms. If you live in Australia I found knowledgeable and compassionate rheumatologist who recognised AS in women ( some older Drs may still not believe this) , and our Gov PBS greatly subsidises biologics ( we pay a healthy level of taxes for the greater good of all) so, even on minimal income, it would be affordable - I just am overjoyed with massive improvement in pains and symptoms , energy, function and mobility, mood and overall quality of life. If your State or Country doesn’t help you could you migrate? I couldn’t bear the thought of not being able to afford these medications; must be so burdensome , and unfair. Everyone deserves opportunities to live their best life, no matter their circumstances or geography. Wishing you the very best….

I too had it , but was diagnosed in 1 week , Thanks to Indian doctors. Here I have some very desent rheumatologists which will cure it soon and in budget also!

[@SRIRAMGURUMURTHY]

@yashrajsharma1 Did you visit the rheumatologist for AS ? If yes, please let me know the rheumatologist details like name, website, and address ? I would like to visit them as I have been suffering from the same symptoms of AS for the past 60 days and consulted spine surgeon a week before, and he predicted that I may be suffering the intermediate or mid stage of AS and asked to take MRI for further investigation.

[@MoncœrCoyoteSmith]

I see people doing chiropractic treatment. I always thought these treatments INCREASE the inflammation cascade.

[@rheumatologistoncall]

Chiropractic treatments can vary in their effects, and it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

[@iamchrispaezjr]

If you don’t want to take NSAID’s, I recommend a vitamin based alternative called Atribion. You can mainly find it in Korean markets or Hispanic markets like Mega Mart. It’s pure vitamin and I used to take that before I knew what HUMIRA or even what this disease was and I felt normal for awhile. Works better than NSAIDS in my opinion, and again, pure vitamins.

Knowledgeable video. Mam I m suffering rhumetic arthritis. In few weeks my left ribs n also right ribs pain. M also check cardiologist. But my ECG, Eco text normal. Only BP 140/100 or 110 sometimes.

[@irenakuki8752]

@rakhisworld4867 it's not possible to give you that answer, it depends. Your illness can go into remission and you are "healthy" off meds while remission lasts. For example, mine went into remission and after a year and I was off meds for 3 years & then AS got triggered again but at a different place. Now I am on meds for many years & remission is not happening 🤷‍♀️

I hope once I am on TNF or IL-17 factors, my condition will improve. I have no idea why the rheumatologist that follows up on me ordered that I take methotrexate, I've currently had 7 weekly injections and 5 more are scheduled. I don't feel any better with methotrexate to be fair.
