hi in the light of the fact that you are ha b27 positive the pain that you are experiencing is due to the same problem this is called enthesitis and it occurs due to inflammation at the attachment of muscles to bones so the treatment also remains similar to that of as you need to take a full dose of said non asteroidal anti inflammatory drugs whichever suits you best for the present you could take voveran so 75 twice daily with an antacid like pantocid if things still bad sulfasalazine may be added calcium and vitamin must be continued regular physical exercise is a must to control this disease please make sure you follow this I hope this helps
