What Is Recommended Treatment For Sacroiliitis With Positive HLAB27?

I am having back ache for a long time. I did MRI..and it shows acute Sacroillitis. And i have a positive HLAB27. The pain is strong generally at the night. I also suffer from tight hamstring. The doc has said to do some physiotherapy. What is the complete cure for it? Am i suffering from AS? Can i play and enjoy my sports?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Thanks for the question.As per your physical examination, doctor may have prescribed physiotherapy as a mainstay of treatment, however, if pain severe at night, you may be advised anti-inflammatory medicine and /or cortisone orally or local infilteration into joint depending on severity-its your doctors decision with and after complete evaluation. HLAB27 may indicate ankylosing spondylitis for which cortisone and anti-inflammatory medicines are given on acute exacerbations of pain
