A 28-years-old male, Mr. P.K. (PIN 29750) from West Bengal started treatment from Life Force for his complaint of ankylosing spondylitis. He was suffering from dull aching pain in his cervical region and lumbar region along with stiffness since one year and that was progressing day-by-day. He had taken conventional treatment, but got no result. His pain used to increase after any physical exertion or weight lifting.

His appetite was average. He was having a strong dislike for brinjals. His thirst was excessive. Perspiration was profuse, particularly on his back and armpits. Thermally, the patient was chilly.

Physically, he was flabby. His hair was dry. He was having a habit of biting nails. His tongue was white-coated.

He was a mechanical engineer. His life journey was very pleasant and supportive since childhood. He always shared good relations and bond with his family members, but he was more attached to his mother. He was well-settled in his life. There was no major stress in his life. He was mild, gentle, and sober while giving his case history. 

His mother was suffering from rheumatoid arthritis since 15 years. There was a strong history of diabetes in his family.

With all these case details, Dr. Shah studied his case in detail and prescribed him his research-based molecules on 12th September 2016.

He started taking medicines as instructed by the doctor, and, when he gave his feedback on 1st April 2017, he was better by 70%. There was no pain since January 2017. His stiffness was also reduced. As per his feedback, again medicines were prescribed to him.
 
After the continuous treatment of one year from Life Force, when Mr. P.K. gave his feedback on 28th November 2017, his pain and stiffness were almost vanished and he reported 90% recovery, without any help of conventional medicines.

Conclusion:

This case highlights that homeopathy is highly recommended for treating ankylosing spondylitis and obtaining relief from its discomfort.
