Patient's question:
I am 53 years old. Recently, as I have gotten older, I have been experiencing leg pain. I have previously visited the immunology department, but the effect was not significant. I have taken both Chinese and Western medicine, especially when the weather changes, I feel uncomfortable. How should spondylosis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hello; Ankylosing spondylitis is a disease of the rheumatic immune system, primarily affecting the spinal joints. It is recommended to pay attention to rest, avoid prolonged bending, reduce the activity level of the waist and back, avoid lifting heavy objects, avoid exposure to cold in the waist and back area, and do not use overly soft beds when sleeping. Local heat application, physical therapy, electrotherapy, acupuncture, and cupping can be applied. It is recommended to take Shujin Huoxue tablets orally for treatment.
