Hello, 

I have had chronic back pain for 7 years and originally due to age my GP put it down to my abdominal muscles parting during pregnancy, fast forward 7 years and I have just been informed that I have grade 3 sacroiliitis where my spine has partially fused to my pelvic bone, which has left me in daily pain and during flare ups unable to move. I have been informed i'm going to start a bio medication  and that i'll need to attend the hospital every 2 weeks for this to be administered until im able to inject myself has anyone else started this medication? just looking for some advice i'm really anxious about it! 

Thanks in advance!

    I hope everything goes well with the biologics @Hayley12345

    I was on biologics for Ulcerative Colitis and agree with Cressida that the EpiPen option is easier to administer! Please keep us updated :)
