My eldest has Ankylosing spondylitis only been diagnosed with it recently, he's been on steroids with it and has to jab himself with a pen injection every fortnight, seems to be working not heard him complaining or using icepacks and hot water bottles for a month at least.

Luckily I’m on medication that stops, to a certain extent, the inflammation in the joints. I’ve had steroid jabs early on in my diagnosis to reduce swelling of my joints and they certainly helped a lot. On bad days the pain is quite severe but doesn’t last too long due to the meds.
