Suggest Medications For Ankylosing Spondylitis

I have been diagnosed with Ankylosis spondylitis. A Orthopedic doctor said to never have surgery. Would a Rhuematologist be helpful for recommending some treatment such as drugs, to help with the discomfort? I do not want any pain medication. Please advise!

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Yes, a rheumatologist can see you and assess you.

He or she would be able to discuss treatment options with you including any appropriate medications that may help.

I hope this helps
