Localised Back pain
I have been diagnosed with hla b-27 positive and have undergone MRI and many x-rays that have mix results some suggest ankylosing spondalitis and some not. Even doctors I consulted are confused, I am not perfectly fine since past 2 years and the back is a nuiscence since then. Tried painkillers , physiotherapy , swimming , vitamin d and calcium course but the problem resonates time and again. So I need to ask how to confirm if the problem is AS ? And if it's that how can I get it cured, please help me it's ruining my golden years of my life
