Spondylosis I have about 2 years. This disease causes a lot of problems - back pain, swelling, problems with movement.
I can not normally bend and unbend. Especially these sensations are pronounced in the period of exacerbation. At first, I somehow did not notice this disease, but recently it began to intensify.
I decided to see a doctor who, after a checkup and a checkup, wrote Biartrin to me. Since I do not know how to do injections, I had to call a nurse every day to administer the medicine. But the drug is good, discomfort passed after a week of use.
