Ankylosing Spondylitis

July 5, 2007

image_thumb_3h_thumb Ankylosing Spondylitis If you are having an early-morning stiffness and pain in your lower back, which becomes better or reduces during the day with exercise or as you get into your routine and have also persisted for more than three months, there are chances that it could be more than just a simple wear and tear in your back. You could be suffering from ankylosing spondylosis (AS).


Ankylosing Spondylitis is a disease that causes arthritis of the spine and the sacroiliac joints. The sacroiliac joints are located in the low back where the sacrum (the bone directly above the tailbone) meets the iliac bones (bones on either side of the upper buttocks). In a person suffering from AS, joints and ligaments that normally allow the spine to move, get inflamed and stiffen up. This inflammation takes place where the ligaments or tendons are attached to the bones. As a result the elastic tissue is replaced by bony growth. Continued forming of new bone can lead to fusion of the vertebrae (bones of spine) thus leading to great reduction in the movement of spine. AS can also affect eyes, lungs, bowel and heart.

Ankylosing spondylitis affects males 2-3 times more commonly than females. Researches suggest that there is a strong link of AS being genetically inherited. The HLA-B27 gene can be detected in most patients with ankylosing spondylitis. This disease is thought to be an auto immune disorder, which means that body’s own defense cells damage the joints of the spine

Pain and stiffness are the first symptoms and are usually felt in the low back and upper buttocks. Rest of the spine and neck can also be affected. The starting of pain and stiffness is usually in a gradual manner which worsens over a period of months .It is very rare that these symptoms become worse suddenly. Mostly the pain is felt in the morning or after prolonged periods of inactivity. This pain and stiffness becomes better with movement. In advanced cases where the fusion of the spine has taken place there is complete loss of mobility. The areas become brittle and are vulnerable to get fractured. The spine becomes inflexible (bamboo spine) which also makes standing and walking difficult.

Diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis is mainly dependant on the history of the symptoms and x-ray findings. HLA b-27 gene marker is also found to be present in the patients suffering from ankylosing spondylitis. Diagnosis of AS is usually delayed as the pain is attributed to more common back problems.

Homoeopathic treatment can be a great boon to the patients if the intervention is started well in time. In this disorder too, the homoeopathic medicines work by optimising the body’s overactive immune (defense) system. The stage of the disease at which the homeopathic treatment is started, is a major factor in determining the outcome of the treatment. For example if the treatment is started in the initial stages when not too much of the elastic tissue is lost, the prognosis are very good and the condition can be reversed in most of the cases .In stages where extensive bone formation has replaced elastic tissue, homeopathic medicines may not be able to reverse the situation but can still help in easing many symptoms. Among other Homoeopathic medicines, I have found Aesculus Hippocastanum as an extremely effective remedy in treating ankylosing spondylitis.

Self care in ankylosing spondylitis

Regular and moderate amount exercise can have a great effect in reducing the severity of disease also in slowing the progression.

Stretching and range of motion exercise have a very important role in the self care for those suffering from AS.

Despite the stiffness, maintain a proper posture.

Specific breathing techniques can help in maintaining good expandability of lungs.

  17. Smt. Brahmala Devi on August 25th, 2008 4:51 am

    I have been suffering from AS since last 3 years, I have under gone treatment in Alopathic and as suggested by rhumetologist Tab.Saaz- 500 mg has been taken for about 8 months and still im continuing the same. But the pain in the lower back in either side of Sacro illiac Joints, and left side heel is not reduced. As I noticed It fluctuates in winter or cold season. When I tensed , the pain will increase like anything which I cant tolarate. While browsing I found that, the ailment is not curable? Another important issue i would like to share with you is such type of lower back and leg pain is due to sycological issues perticularly in ladies facing unsolved wories?

I am applying VOLINI Gel on neck, and applying Hot Water bag on neck region daily two times. Doctors said it is Spondilities, some one said Ankolising Spondilities, some said it is Rheumatioid Arthirites.
    I am also having Allergy, Sinus, Acid Reflux, BP, Sugar.

    For Actid Reflux I am using Pan-40 mg (Under Control)
    BP – Amlodipine 5 mg, Aten 50 mg {BP under control}
    Sugar – Amaryl 3 mg, Glycomet 500 2 time, Mignar 25 mg 2time (Under Control)

    For Allergy and Sinus i am using Citrizen, Derifline OR L-Montus and Derifilin
    [not under control - Every day post nasal drip]

    For neck pain – Ovlini Gel, Hot Water Bag. HCQS 200 mg (Chloroquine)
    [Not under control - Suffering]

    Apart from this one week back i started using Homeo medicines

    1. Brayonia 1M (daily 1 dose for 3 days then once in a week)
    2. Arsenic Alb 1M (daily 1 dose for 3 days then once in a week)

    But i am fearing about this personal medication. Am i using correctly. Do i have to continue or Stop. For this advice also i will pay the fees. Please tell me. Most of the doctors not allowing me to discuss about this. They simply want money. They are telling me to stop this medicines and they will give the medicines with out Name. They wont disclose the names.

    Please advice me. I will send the money when you told me to send.

    Dr. Sharma,

    Read your article on the net on AS, unfortunately I am HLA B27 positive. I am 30 Years old and had two attacks of iridocyclitis one when I was 17 Years old and 2nd when I was 29. I had severe back pain when I was : 23 and then 27 years old… Currently the pain has again started but the pain is not in the lower back… Its around the chest region.. The pain increases during night while I am asleep and I need to get up for an Hr or so every night to reduce the pain.

    I have started Ibrufain and Sazo-500 on my own.

    Need your Help and Guidance to fight this in a proper way.

    thanks

    My job was of touring nature,sometimes self used to travel for 15 to 20 days in a month.Now my age is 54 years and I never bothered for the backaches and other
    related pains in the spinal region and took on the counter medicines as and when required.I have a growth in the back of neck which is not growing since it has noticed.
    Kindly note my following problems-
    > Accute stiffness of the spinal region in morning hours,
    > The pain makes my knees stiff while I climb or get down on the stairs,
    > Sometimes my fingers become stiff and I feel difficulty in writing,
    > Constant pain in the upper left side chest region,
    > Eyes are painful(got them tested but no medical problem was reported
    by the specialist- only advised to put on glasses)
    >Fatigue associated with intention to take rest is always prevalent with me,
    > Because of chest pain was advised for angiography but the result showed
    40% constriction of the arteries and surgical intervention was not required
    > Sugar level were on the borderline region now upon takine mild medication

    I m 30 years old.I have been suffering from AS since last 5 years, I have under gone treatment in suggested by rhumetologist Tab.Saaz- 500 mg has been taken for about 4 months and still i m continuing the same. But the pain in the lower right back in either side of Sacro illiac Joint is not reduced. As I noticed It fluctuates in winter or cold season. When I tensed , the pain will increase like anything which I cant tolarate. While browsing I found that, the ailment is not curable?

I can not go anywhere alone.I use to depend on my side view and now i can”t do that anymore. Iknow i have it in my knees and my hips i just don”t want to hear it. Every doctor I have been to say they have never seen a case like mine. But no one has ever told me of anyone that can help me.
    Does anyone know of a doctor that can offer me some help. GOD BLESS anyone that has AS .

    I have been detected with ankylosing spondylosis in Sept 2009. I was seriously affected by the disease and became immobile due to pain and swelling in knee, ankle etc. The disease is detected by MRI, X -rays , HLAB 27 test. I am undergoing treatment which consists of Sazoo 1000, Etova 400. Meanwhile I had to take depomedrol injections ( 4 of 80 mg and 6 of 40 mg over two months).
    Now my condition has improved but the diseaase is not under fully control as reflected from high level of ESR and residual synovities in ankle / knee.
    I am also taking physiotherapy ( excercise therapy) and pranayam.

    Can homeopathy treatment be started at this stage and is it possible to take homeopathy medicine along with the present medicine ( sazo 1000) which I am taking ? Pls advise.

    Hi ,

    My husband very often complains of back pain in the morning ( as soon as he wakes up ) …this pain usually eases out during the day.

    Now the thing is that his maternal uncle has been suffering from Ankylosing spondilitis for last 8 years.

    Reading your article I am a little concerned …should I get him checked for AS as soon as possible ??

    Please advise
    Thanks and regards

    Hello Everyone,

    Me to suffering from the so called disease ‘Ankylosing Spondylitis’. I got it discovered some where around in October-2009.

    Initially, symptoms was – Stiff lower back, Right buttock pain (some where in body, can’t be identified by touching), pain sensation in right thigh.

    This pain keep on increasing day by day, but gradually in a static motion. I kept it ignoring and thought it might be just, some how type of pain.

    I started consulting the docs at – AIIMS-Delhi, Kailash Hospital-Gr.Noida, Meerut, Noida, Allopathy, Homeopathy, Naturopathy. No one was able to even diagnose the issue, apart from the tests being carried ouot, including MRI, X-Ray, Blood Test. Luckily, I met with an Ortho at Yashoda Hospital in Ghaziabad (Dr. Ajay Pawar). He finally diagnosed the issue, that was AS.

    As per his advice, I started taking – Indocap-SR, SAZO DS 1000mg, Folvite AND Defza. These medicines done magic for me. Pain has gone completely. But one cannot take medicine (alopathy) for long time. So my doc advised me for regular exercise and to loose the weight. Obesity makes the AS, horrible. I am improving day by day.

    Now I forgot, where the pain was. Now I can live the pain free life again.

    I am ready to share my thoughts with anyone having AS.
