Brain and spine TB

2024-02-12 15:01:35
I was diagnosed with Brain & spine TB in 2021. Taking ATT since 3 years and iam not fully cured yet but mri shows improvement.. I have osteoporosis too and i have taken steroids prednisolone for 2 yrs. I have regular back pain since few months. Is it ok to have back pain after taking tablets for so long ? 6 months back MRI was showing TB and myelitis. Does regular back pain indicates increase in TB infection in spine ?
