General exercises: a range of motion and stretching exercises can help combat the inevitable inward movement of the limbs as muscles and tendons shorten. Limbs tend to become fixed in position, and these types of activities can help keep them mobile for longer. Standard low-impact aerobic exercises such as walking and swimming can also help slow the disease’s progression.

As per your description, you might get relief with biologics, however that is a costly treatment. In that case you can go to govt hospitals and ask for help from charitable trusts or pm funds or cm funds. There is one cheap drug available but its toxicity profile is high, so it had to be used very cautiously. I hope you find your way to pain free life.

You r b27 positive but do you have any stiffness in back. If not then good. My suggestion to you will be do daily back cervical hip exercise so they are flexible (see a physiotherapist doctor). In hla b27 exercise only helps to slow down the illness. Ayurvedic medicine I have no experience so can't comment, also I have come across no ayurvedic doctor claiming to cure you completely in hla b27
in case your condition worsens then see an orthopedic consultant near you to help you better.

Hi lybrate-user, ankylosing spondylitis is unfortunately a disease which is disabling if not controlled. However,if well controlled you can have a normal and healthy life. Answering your question, all nsaids have potential side effects and unfortunately you cannot take them all your life without any side effects. There are new treatments which are alternatives to nsaids. Do get in touch do discuss your symptoms further so that I can help.

Wysolone only if other pain killers do not work. You may consult rheumatologist/orthopaedic surgeon. He will prescribe you pain killers which are effective on severe pain. Hot fomentation and some breathing exercises and exercises can work. You cannot get permanent pain relief from medicines. You have to take medicines for continuously. Additionally, diet therapy from a good dietician can work.
