I was told by the doctor to get an HLA B27 test done, and I'm trying to figure out how much it costs. Also, can you let me know when and where I can get the test report?

The HLA-B27 test is used to help diagnose autoimmune disorders like ankylosing spondylitis. The price of the test can vary depending on the lab or facility where you get it done. You can inquire about the price and schedule the test at any reputable diagnostic center or hospital near you. Once the test is done, the report is usually available within a few days. You can collect the test report from the same place where you got the test done.

I've been struggling with joint pain for the past 10 days and my doctor mentioned it might be due to a calcium deficiency. He suggested taking calcitas powder twice a day. I've been on this for 5 days now, but I still don't feel any relief. Should I keep taking it, or is there something else I should consider?
