I think this condition is ok now. For pregnancy you should plan ayurvedic based treatment for healthy, intellectual and beautiful child after your cycles are ok. This will be a series of treatment plans. Once you conceive there is masanumas chikitsa, very wondeful. May talk or meet some vaidya there.

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.

1) no relation to d & c
2) any couple desirous of pregnancy and not getting the same naturally must meet a gynecologist or infertility specialist accepting the fact that it needs many reports and different trials of treatment. This means the couple must have patience and go to one with whom they have trust to stick for a long time.

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.

Health Query

Recently I am (32 yrs) diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, hlab27 +ve & sacroiliitis at hip joints - recently had infliximab injection, would this helpful or need medication for lifetime.

To be honest, one injection will mostly not cure the illness. Ankylosing spondylitis can be a disabling condition leading to many problems. You will need physical therapy along with other medication as well as clinical assessment and other blood investigations. The duration of treatment will ultimately depend on the disease severity which will be clear if you consult an orthopaedician/rheumatologist for the same.
