Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
I think I can help you.

However, I need more information-
1. What were the exact medicines that you were on?
2. Are you on physiotherapy?
3. What are the modalities that you are using eg walking sticks etc?
4. Are you on any immunosuppressants?
5. Was any test ever done like HLA B 27, ESR, ANA?
6. What were the reports for them?
7. What are the medicines you are taking for pain?
8. I need to know how your symptoms started and what was the progress of the symptoms over the past so many years.

I am sorry, but I need full details before I can make a valid suggestion regarding the medicines that you need to take. Without the full details, I will be putting you at risk.

However, if you just want to know which doctor to consult, you need to meet a neurologist/spinal surgeon and a rheumatologist.

I will be glad to help you further with the problem if you send me the details that I have requested.
Best of luck.
Apologies to be of limited help in view of the need for further details.
Dr Mittal
