HLA B27 positive means a genetic tendency for joint issues like ankylosing spondylitis. Many people have no major problems regular exercise helps control symptoms. Knee or foot pain after stopping activity is common. Restart gentle stretches, walking, or yoga. If pain worsens, get joint tests and visit a doctor.
