Answer 1

Spondylitis (also called ankylosing spondylitis) is a type of arthritis that affects the spine or backbone. Spondylitis may cause back pain and stiffness. The bones of the spine, called vertebrae, may grow or fuse together resulting in a rigid spine. These changes may be mild or severe. Severe disease may lead to poor posture and deformities. Early diagnosis and treatment helps control pain and stiffness, and may reduce or prevent significant deformity.


There is no cure for spondylitis, but discomfort can be reduced and function can often be improved. The goals of treatment are to:

* Reduce pain and stiffness
* Maintain a good posture
* Prevent deformity
* Preserve one's ability to perform normal activities

When properly treated, people with spondylitis may lead fairly normal lives. Under ideal circumstances, a team approach to treat spondylitis is desirable. Members of the treatment team typically include the patient, doctor, physical therapist and occupational therapist.

Physical and occupational therapy
Early intervention with physical and occupational therapy is important to maintain function and minimize deformity. The patient should try to maintain normal posture.

Patients with spondylitis are encouraged to sleep on a hard mattress with their back straight. Placing large pillows under the head is discouraged, since it may promote neck fusion in flexion. Similarly, propping the legs up on pillows should be avoided as it may lead to hip and/or knee fusion in a bent position. When sitting, chairs, tables and other work surfaces should be designed to avoid slumping or stooping. Armchairs are preferred over chairs without arms.

Since patients with spondylitis could easily hurt their rigid necks or backs, special care should be taken to avoid sudden impact, such as jumping, or falling.

Exercise
A program of daily exercise will help reduce stiffness, strengthen the muscles around the joints, and prevent or minimize the risk of disability. Deep breathing exercises may help keep the chest cage flexible. Swimming is an excellent form of exercise for patients with spondylitis.

Medications
While a cure for spondylitis is not available, certain drugs help provide relief from pain and stiffness and allow patients to perform their exercises with minimal discomfort. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most commonly used drugs for spondylitis treatment. NSAIDs are not related to cortisone (a steroid), although both work by reducing inflammation. A variety of NSAIDs are currently available, and the choice of a particular drug should be discussed with the treating doctor.

In severe cases, other medications may be added to the treatment regimen.

it is a improper curvature of the lumbar spine. cause by either a birth defect or an injury. there is not a cure other than surgery and that is iffy. you can get chiropractic treatment for it and it helps. i've had this same problem since 1972. mine is from a fall down stairs.

Answer 5

Quick relief is not a solution to your problem. As you can yourself see that using painkillers like combiflam have only given you relief temporarily but with no solution to your problem. Yoga is a sureshot way to cure your disease. Follow Ramdev's yoga for which you will have to contact the concerned authorities. Along with ayurvedic medicine, pranayam and hatha yoga, I am sure you will overcome your problem.
