How are college students treated for ankylosing spondylitis?

Patient's question:

I am a student, and my practice is very good. My parents have high expectations for me, so I have always been very strict with myself. School is practice, and I cannot be distracted by trivial matters that affect my studies. However, I have been diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, and it hurts a lot. Hello, how should university students with ankylosing spondylitis be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Ankylosing spondylitis is generally treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and immunosuppressants. Ankylosing spondylitis can usually cause lumbar stiffness, difficulty in flexion and extension, and restricted movement of the lumbar spine to various joints. It is generally not curable, but the progression of the disease can be controlled, and symptoms of pain in patients can be alleviated. It is important to prevent cold exposure and avoid colds. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and maintain a light diet.
