Hi,

Positive HLA B27 means you are having aankylosing spondylitis and in ankylosing spondylitis there is involvement of SI joint as well as your spine.in ankylosing spondylitis the movement of the spine becomes painful and movements of the SI joint also becomes painful. This is genetic disease and has no permanent cure, only physiotherapy and some medicines are there to help out. The most important thing in this is you should always be physically active.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jaideep Gaver, Orthopedic Surgeon
