Back pain/neck pain

Question

Back pain/neck pain

Asked for Male, 33 Years

I have tested HLAB27 positive. Rheumatologist said this is arthritis and prescribed some more tests. After consulting him i checked to find that he has also prescribed Hepatitis B surface antigen and Mantoux/PPD/Tuberculin test. I do not understand why he has advised tests for Hepatitis B and Tuberculosis. Further, he suggested to take Saaz 500mg twice a day, etoricoxib 90 mg once a day and gas tablet. I want to ask If I am not having severe pain (as I'm doing exercises) then is pain killer mandatory? Can't i take only saaz 500 mg (and gas tablet?)
