Brief Answer:
Ankilosing Spondilitis is a pathology with unknown etiology.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM. I understand your concern and your question is well done, but at this case the factor that causes the Ankilosing Spondylitis is not known . It does have a genetic predisposition and the role of infection in developing the pathology is controversial . Its ok for you to take the medication prescribed by the doctor , but the main treatment of Ankilosis Spondylitis remains the fisical activity. It would be better to begin the exercises after a shower with warm water which will help you with the stiffness. Swimming, volleyball, etc are the main activities which help decreasing the pain level and conserving the normal posture of your body.
Is recommended to stay overthrown for 15-20 minutes for several times a day.
If the symptoms does not improve with the fisical activity and the antiinflammatory drugs (CO-DICLO-MISO 75MG), then you have to see a reumatologist for more specific treatment.

Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications. Otherwise please close and rate the answer.
Kind Regards,
Dr. Juarda
