I'm really worried about some chest pain I've been having. It's there when I breathe deeply, move my neck, or even press on the area, and it all seems to start from the straight back. This has been going on for the past 2 years and I just don't know what to do about it. What could be causing this kind of pain?

I recently got my blood and urine tests done for insurance purposes, and the results are a bit concerning. The report says my ESR, which I believe stands for erythrocyte sedimentation rate, is high. Plus, there's some abnormal protein showing up in my urine. I'm not quite sure what all this means. Could you help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take to bring these readings back to normal?

I'm 30 and have been dealing with ankylosing spondylitis since June 2020, with a positive HLA-B27 test. I really want to avoid my vertebrae fusing together but don't want to rely on medicines. Can exercises, physiotherapy, or other therapies help prevent fusion? If fusion does happen, can it be reversed with therapy or will I need surgery? I can handle the pain but the idea of my spine or neck fusing scares me. How long does fusion usually take if it happens? Any advice would mean a lot.
A combination of medicines and exercise will be the best way forward. Taken alone neither will help completely.
