[|Human|] I had a bone marrow biopsy for megaloblastic anemia in september 2017. The site got infected and I couldn t move. After a month recd antibiotics for infection. Now on sulfasalazine 1000 mg day and night.MRI and x ray diagnosis bilateral sacroilitis. Will it affect other joints and is it curable. Anemia is now cured. Will this medicine make me prone to infections as it is immunosuppressive. Please help. When I take medicine there is no pain but after stopping for 12-15 days it starts paining.
[|AI|]  Hi, You are suffering from ankylosing spondylitis. Bilateral sacroiliacs is sign of this disease. It is one type of chronic inflammatory arthritis affecting large joints. It may spread to involve both hip joints and knee joints. Progress of disease varies in different patients. In long-standing disease hip and spine joints may get fused.  Please visit rheumatologist for detailed examination.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
