Hello doctor, I have been managing Ankylosing Spondylitis for 8 years, but my pain has worsened over the last year, and I recently developed uveitis. I currently take Saaz 500 (Sulfasalazine) and Inmecin 25 (Indomethacin) and practice yoga daily, but I only experience temporary relief. What are the next steps or advanced treatment options to help me achieve better long-term control of my condition and improve my quality of life?
Hello! Ankylosing Spondylitis can be managed effectively with the right treatment and regular follow-up. Yoga and physiotherapy are helpful for maintaining flexibility, but worsening pain and episodes of Uveitis may mean your current treatment is not fully controlling the inflammation. A rheumatologist can assess whether advanced treatments, including biologic therapies, may be suitable for you. Since uveitis can affect vision, it is also important to consult an ophthalmologist for proper eye care. Continue exercises as advised by your healthcare team, and avoid changing medicines without medical guidance.
