Patient's question:
My brother has been telling me recently that he doesn't want to work and feels very tired, with lower back pain. I thought he was being stubborn again, just wanting to avoid work. But after he had a thorough check-up, it turned out he had rheumatic fever ankylosing spondylitis. How is rheumatic fever ankylosing spondylitis treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, ankylosing spondylitis joint disease caused by rheumatic fever is mainly due to excessive fatigue and poor daily living posture. Acupuncture, moxibustion, and herbal steam therapy can be performed. Generally, it is difficult to fully recover. You can do more bow bridge and flying swallow exercises, swim more, and enhance muscle strength. Pay attention to daily living posture, avoid bending your head too much, and avoid bending over too often.
