Suggest Treatment For Severe Back Pain

Dear Sir,
For past 20days from Jan2014 till feb2014 i have been suffering from low back pain. Visited Orthopedic he asked me to do MRI scan. Than he suggested me for HLAB 27 report which is also negetive than he asked me to chk with rhemetogist for (ankylosing spondylitis). Rhemetologist gave me Zempred, Volitra, Rabani in Feb2014 for 10days
As compared to Jan2014 my pain is litle in Feb2014 after taking medicines regularly & again told me to contine so that the swelling will come to normal. I am really looking for excersise to fight with Ankylosing Spondylitis even thought it is there or not. This for precaution for future.

I have gone through the details provided. Ankylosing spondylosis is a condition where the lower vertebrae get fused, thus creating compression effect on the spinal nerves that come out of openings on either side of the vertebrae. This nerve compression is responsible for the pain over the areas that those nerves supply. Spinal traction should be able to give you some relief. This has to be backed up with proper exercise which need to be done only under proper guidance. Please get in touch with a physiotherapist who can take care of these. It is not possible to demonstrate the right techniques to you (which is not possible in the brief scope of this answer). Moreover, you need to remain in proper follow up. He would also be able to tell you about the postures to avoid as precautionary measure. Hot compress alternating with cold compress should help in reducing the pain.
