I have a condition called ankylosing spondylitis, and I take CIMZIA injection (TNF blocker) and NSAIDs every now and then when I have a flare up. I also sometimes get uveitis which I treat with steroid eye drops. Is it safe to have facial botox?

Answer: Botox with ankylosing spondylitis Yes it would be perfectly safe to have botox with your condition. You may notice some slight bruising due to the NSAIDS that you take.

Answer: Botox and Ankylosing spondylitis Yes, you can have Botox! You may be at a slightly higher risk for bruising because of the NSAID, but most people don't bruise with Botox. Some of my happiest patients are those with several medical problems and I am glad I can make them feel a little better about their appearance. Lana Long, MD
