Hi Welcome to healhcaremagic After going through your query I concluded that you probably having ankylosing spondylitis as you are having rest pains, difficulty in breathing and HLA B27 positive. Treatment of it is analgesic whenever you have pain and back exercises. Rest is contraindicated. You should remain always active, it will be beneficial for you. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
