Advice on Axial Spondyloarthritis
Hi, just wondering whether I put up with this pain or I need to see my GP or Rheumatologist. My rib cage is very painful when I breath in - so can only do shallow breathing. I know this is part of AxSpA but any recommendations on how to stop the pain would be really apprieciated. I am on biologic injections but just lately they seem to have stopped working as in a lot of pain in all my joints.
I have taken paracetamol and Co codamol but they don't seem to relieve the pain in my chest. Although they do help with the other joint pains.

Okay Naomi, thanks for that. My consultant is on leave at the moment so I have to wait till he gets back.

Me too, but can you take anti-inflammatories in the meantime? Like ibuprofen i can't but those who can (used to be me) swear by them.
Good luck

Thanks for your input Toni. I can't take ibuprofen it irrates my stomach. I think I use too much when my knees were knackered. Had both replaced!!
