Hi,

There is no truly satisfactory or fully effective treatment at this time for ankylosing spondylitis and pain management is typically done with a variety of medications and combinations of medications. In your case, Nucoxia and Duzela have been chosen which are definitely appropriate types of medications for the problem.

However, if you are not obtaining adequate relief from the symptoms of pain and discomfort you may wish to talk with your doctor about either changing the dose of the medications, using alternative medications, or adding adjunctive approaches to your medications. Examples might be Aquatherapy, TENS unit stimulation of the lower back, or the use of acupuncture and relaxation therapy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi,
