A member asked:

I was just diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis but don't see ra till oct what can i do for the pain in the meantime?

Many things.: You should start an exercise program tailored to the disease. Maybe see a physical therapist. Your dose of naproxen should be maxed out- 550 BID or you should consider moving to a different agent such as indomethacin. Additional agents such as acetaminophen or low dose narcotics may be added. See the national ankylosing Spondylitis Society on line for a lot of info.....
