HLAB27 if positive suggestive of you having a condition called Ankylosing spondylitis. Did u meet with a physio to learn about safer exercises to do everyday at home.
If you can get hold of a static cycle at home try doing. Also try doing dry swimming exercises or a superman exercise suggestive for all AS cases.. remember to break the chain of inactivity .. avoid sitting in one posture for long. Early morning do a small walk within your house and surely remember to avoid sitting in air conditioning.. do some warm soaks ...once lockdown is done meet with the physio to learn active exercises.
Next Steps
remember to exercise keep mobile. avoid exercises which are not safe if one has AS.. superman exercise is a life saver
Health Tips
take a warm shower every morning

Hai I hope already u had tested and cane to know about your condition and due to this lockdown period ur mobility may be reduced a lot sitting at home for work . Kindly do gently back exercises to stretch ur back spine extensors and spine flexors use soft cushion while u sit n a chair to work also have a foot rest so that the back is relaxed always while sleeping kindly use a pillow to the back of knee . Hot fermentation followed by a pain relieving gel will be useful .
