Pain Relief From Doctor
A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Ankylosing spondylitis my Doctor is very reluctant to issue me with pain killers
I have been prescribed codeine tablets but find these make me so badly constipated and don’t always help with the pain.

Am I better off just leaving my practice and going to a different doctor ?

A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Will be switching to Medicare in a few months and in researching my options I'm finding Enbrel will cost me about $5000 more per year than it does on my current health insurance. What have other people done when moving to Medicare?

Have Any Of You Had Side Effects From Enbrel Injections?
A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question đź’­

1.9% of people taking Enbrel injections have low back pain as a side effect. A Phase 4 study revealed that it is mostly women over 60 taking Enbrel for. 1-6 months who are affected. Unfortunately, I am one of the 1.9% of those taking Enbrel who had this side effect. I am trying to find out more about this topic but cannot locate the actual study. I want to know if this is temporary or if the pain never goes away. If it is temporary, how long before it gets better? Is it associated with any other… read more
