Detailed Answer:
Hi
This medication may need some time before it starts working.
It is recommended to start a pain medicine commonly known as NSAIDS.
In routine language they are painkillers however they have a special role to play in people with spondyloarthritis.
So I suggest take a medication like voveran or etoricoxib for a few days regularly.
Regards
