Hi, my mom has back ache since 2 months. It increases when she works a lot. I just wonder if it could be because of spine tuberculosis. But she got her x ray done, it was fine. Is spine tuberculosis detected in x ray?

Backache has many causes and needs proper treatment to avoid it becoming persistent and chronic. TB can be detected if damage is severe on X-ray. Thanks
