What tests might I have?
When you see a specialist, they may offer you an X‑ray of your back and pelvis, and X‑rays of any other parts of your body where you have symptoms. They may also offer you other scans and tests such as an MRI, an ultrasound or a blood test. These are to check for inflammation or infection and to look for the HLA‑B27 gene.
