To be honest, one injection will mostly not cure the illness. Ankylosing spondylitis can be a disabling condition leading to many problems. You will need physical therapy along with other medication as well as clinical assessment and other blood investigations. The duration of treatment will ultimately depend on the disease severity which will be clear if you consult an orthopaedician/rheumatologist for the same.

If you suspect that you may have an autoimmune disorder, it is recommended that you consult with a medical professional such as a rheumatologist, an endocrinologist, or an immunologist. These specialists are trained to diagnose and treat autoimmune disorders and can order additional tests to confirm a diagnosis. The high levels of anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies (anti-tpo) and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies (anti-tg) that you mentioned may indicate an autoimmune thyroid disorder such as hashimoto's thyroiditis or graves' disease. However, other autoimmune disorders can also cause elevated levels of these antibodies, so it is important to have a thorough evaluation by a medical professional. It is important to note that elevated antibody levels alone do not necessarily mean that you have an autoimmune disorder. Your medical history, symptoms, and other test results will also be taken into consideration when making a diagnosis.

Hello Mr. lybrate-user. Rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis belong to inflammatory arthritis diseases and are usually presented later in life. These are diseases going into generations. Rf or ra factor can be normal in these diseases as it is not a specific test. Your rf can be normal and yet you can have severe disease. These diseases are progressive, once started they will progress and not be healed. However latest treatments provide an opportunity to slow down the progress of these type of arthritis. (the treatment you are taking) what you are experiencing is initial stages of such disease as per details provided by you. I would recommend to visit a rheumatologist for change or rather updated treatment. Being at young age it is the right time to start accurate treatments. A change in routine lifestyle with involvement of excercises and diet modification will help betterment of your joints and the symptoms and sounds you are getting in joints will heal up. Do connect for more details. Please do give a feedback.

Regards Lybrate user. The ankle area is quite compact and skin flexibility / elasticity is fair over the area. Swelling around the ankles may occur due to trauma (ankle twist, fractures) or heart / kidney problems or lymph drainage problems or arthritis. Usually heart / kidney / lymph drainage problems tend to be more generalized in one or both legs. It would be in the foot, ankle and leg regions and just not around the ankle. If you have had any history of trauma and the swelling had occurred after that, it may have stretched the skin creating free space. So positioning your leg towards gravity (like hanging your leg down when sitting or walking) could lead to the fluids coming down the leg and may occupy the free space. If you notice there is no swelling after you lie down for a while or elevate your leg up on pillow, then it could just be fluid build up in the free space - which may not be a concern. If walking few steps hurt, brings swelling on and it continues to hurt even after resting for 15-20 minutes, then it may be related to some kind of arthritis. It would then be recommended to consult an orthopaedician or rheumatologist to ascertain specificity of the disorder.

Anaemia always leads to the symptoms of being tired and also having body pain though there may not be any pathological reasons for body pain. If you have leg pain then you have to rule out the causes for having leg pain. First of all check your weight and your haemoglobin levels, as anaemia always leads to the symptoms of being tired and also having leg pain though there are no issues with the knee joint or back pain. If not if the pain radiates down the back of thigh and legs then it might be due to sciatica. Kindly consult the nearby physiotherapist. Hope you recover soon from the leg pain.

Regards lybrate-user. With the provided information, it appears the disorder is affecting multiple systems - joints, urinary system, gastrointestinal (relating to weight loss). He may benefit from a consult with a rheumatologist. Rheumatological disorders are different from other disorders as they involve autoimmune issues (that is our own body's defense system, affects our own tissues). They tend to affect multiple systems at same time, and often tend to be misdiagnosed / mismanaged.
