You can go to the gym only once the DVT is under control and you are regular with your medications. You can work out but should avoid leg and thigh exercises. It definitely is not beneficial.

Starting an exercise program
have your physician clear you for exercise. Do not start exercising if you are currently in an inflammatory flare.
Seek expert guidance from a physical therapist who understands myositis diseases. Have the therapist work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan.
With the guidance of the therapist, learn how to do the exercises correctly. After that, you can probably do them on your own.

Continuous intake of painkiller can damage kidney. For pain you can take tramadol which will very less toxic effect to kidney. Get dose of medicine adjusted. Do deep breathing exercise to relieve anxiety and in turn pain.

Recently I am (32 yrs) diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, hlab27 +ve & sacroiliitis at hip joints - recently had infliximab injection, would this helpful or need medication for lifetime.

Dr. Ajay Kamat90%(21 ratings)

MS - Orthopaedics, MBBS

Orthopedic Doctor•Haldwani

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.
