Hi lybrate-user Ankylosing spondylitis has to be confirmed by HLA B27 test and x-ray of spine, pelvis. Physical therapy is mainstay of treatment. For exacerbations of acute phase, corticosteroid and antiinflammatories like Arflur etc are prescribed. Supportive treatment with calcium, vitamin D and B12 are given Do not worry, as the symptoms are manageable with above remedies. You can carry on your activities Do not panic consult a physician, physiotherapist and take medicines as above ,exercises and mild anxiolytic medicines like clonazipam or which your physician may consider to allay anxiety.
