Ankylosing spondylitis is an autoimmune ds. Axial skeleton more commonly involved. Must do Physiotherapy, exercises, antioxidant foods. U must be talking about bilogics like TNF antagonist. Costly but effective. Read about gluten sensitivity and leaky gut, diet in autoimmune disease. Never do self medication for AS. BE UNDER SUFFERVISION OF ORTHOPEDICIAN OR RHEUMATOLOGIST.

You have not mentioned what the injections were. For Ankylosing Spondylitis, there is no cure, but you can control the symptoms. Physiotherapy, exercises, maintaining flexibility and pain killers as needed are the basics of treatment. Only if it gets more severe, you will need other forms of treatment.
