Dear Lybrate user,
depending on the medical condition, a peg feeding tube may be temporary or permanent. However, those with more permanent neurologic damage may require a feeding tube long-term. In either case, the feeding tube can be easily removed if necessary. But you may also take homeopathic treatment as this is most effective way, and for homeopathy treatment you may contact us.

Asked for male, 31 years old from Dharwad

I am a 32 years male suffering from ankylosing spondylitis from past 2 and half years. I have been taking jakura5 (tofacitinib) for past 8 months, but my esr and crp levels are not decreasing. I get severe back pain at night which disturbs my sleep, however there is no pain during day time, mostly due to my routine exercises in the morning. Hence kindly inform me what could be the reason of the pain in spite of taking medicine.

Continuous intake of painkiller can damage kidney. For pain you can take tramadol which will very less toxic effect to kidney. Get dose of medicine adjusted. Do deep breathing exercise to relieve anxiety and in turn pain.
