It is most likely that you have Ankylosing spondylitis. You must start appropriate medications as suggested by your rheumatologost. That will control your leg pain.
However you must have an indepth discussion with the doctor about the course of the disease, the long term treatment , the need for exercises, what exrcises, etc
