Hello,
Thanks for your query.

Continue taking these disease modifying drugs as advised by your doctor. I also suggest you to quit smoking if you smoke. Smoking is generally bad for your health, but it creates additional problems for people with ankylosing spondylitis. Depending on the severity of your condition, ankylosing spondylitis can affect the mobility of your rib cage.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
