Brief Answer: need review Detailed Answer: Hi, if you have classical history and HLA B27 positive. Then there is no need of MRI. What was your x ray? If you still have pain, it means, your disease is not under control, you need to take next stage of medicine. Are you on Nsaids? Are you under treatment of a rheumatologist? You are talking treatment from dr XXXXXXX gatani. Is he a rheumatologist? Only rheumatologist can evaluate and treat AS accordingly. There is no permanent cure of this disease. But it is well treatable. Regards
