Patient's question:
I have recently started experiencing pain from my knee to my waist. Sometimes, when I get out of bed, I cannot immediately walk because of the pain. Due to the pain, I first stand for a moment and then walk, and it's fine after that. This time, the condition was triggered by overloading during work, causing a waist injury. After taking painkillers, the symptoms improved significantly, but they keep recurring. The day before yesterday, I suddenly experienced dizziness, followed by dry vomiting and a headache.Doctor's answer:
Ankylosing spondylitis is a disease that is difficult to treat. There are some treatment methods for this disease, which are different for different people and different conditions. The duration of the illness, the presence or absence of complications, and the patient's overall health status are all taken into account when choosing a treatment method. This ensures the best possible outcome. In very few cases, the disease first manifests as cervical spondylitis, with pain starting in the neck area and radiating to the head and arms.
