SS, 14956, Mumbai, India I was suffering from Ankylosing Spondylitis since last many years and reports showed high ESR levels and HLA-B27 was positive. I had severe shooting type of pain in the hip joint involving the joints around the upper back, hip and thigh. I had severe stiffness in the morning which affected my joint movements. It was a challenge for me to get up and move around especially in the morning hours. I had severe erratic pains, having no pattern which was affecting my routine activity. I was facing a difficulty in bending and turning. The pain was affecting my posture and I couldn’t walk straight. Starting with the treatment, there was gradual improvement in my pains and joint movement. At the end of 8 months the pain reduced to a great extent. There was 85 % improvement, the intensity of the pain and stiffness was much less as compared to what I had when we started with the treatment. There is good improvement in my joint mobility and I am able to stand and sit for longer time. I am very thankful to Dr Shah for his sincere efforts and timely attention in helping me cope up with this debilitating disease (Ankylosing Spondylitis).
