Going to see my rheumatologist on 9/10. I need something stronger to help me with my pain. I’ve hit ankylosis spondylitis: inflammatory arthritis. She gave me relefin, which is a strong anti- inflammatory. Hoping something stronger will help. What are some medications that help u all in ur pain?
God bless!

I have that also my pain management has me on inflammatory meds. but regurlar doctor doesnt want me on them cause they can be bad for your kidneys. I used them a lot this summer cause it stay hot and humid. Now I'm using a half one proable for the rest of month then stop. Cause don't have as much swelling in cooler weather. For me Lidocaine patches, Acetaminophen with Tradomal and muscle helps me.

I take Hydrocodone. Gabipentin made me gain 25 pounds when they put me on it. So I stopped it.
