Spinal TB related query
Hi,
My father whose age is 56 years tested TB in spine one month back, earlier he used to get fever as well but now he does not get fever any more but still pain is there specially while going to washroom or while sitting which he rarely does as strict bed rest was suggested by doctor. He is taking regular medicines and rich diet as well but When can we expect relief in pain ? How much time does it take to get relief from pain ? A good suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks in advance 🙏
Attached report as well.

His vertebral body has compressed ( spinal bone fracture), once the infection is under control and calcification starts in bone usually takes 3 month, his pain should get relived.
As advised before to you, please make him wear a thoraco lumbar brace while sitting and walking. Absolute bed rest needed.
