I am suffering from ankylosing spondylitis. I'm a 26 year male and experience constant pain and stiffness in neck and upper back. Few doctors suggest that it's incurable and some say that DMARD's can help you. I am highly confused About whom to believe. Someone please throw enough light on it. Mexane is a steroid, is it safe to use?

As per problem, only I can suggest u, do maximum exercise like stretching, spinal extensor muscle exercise, neck static exercise, some yoga. And last time to time consult you physiotherapist. Nothing big problem. Don't worry. Have a nice day.
