Suffering From Spondylitis, Stiff Neck. Will Taking Sulfasalazine Help In Getting Cured Permanently?
Hi doc, I am a student and I am suffering from spondylitis. My right part of my neck feels stiff and my whole neck feels tightened. I have consulted a physiotherapy and he gave me some NSAID's and some exercises. I have been using them for 2 weeks but it really showed little improvement. I browsed online and came across this medicine called sulfasalazine and I was wondering if I can take it. I want some medicine which can relieve me permanently and I can get back with my sports and studies. Can you suggest me some good medicine which can help me permanently.

Hi,
NSAID's and exercises are the best treatment for your case. However, sulfasalazine is prescribed only when this first treatment fails.
Keep exercised and eat healthy.
Hope it helped!
