Yes sometimes when the TB infection in the spine is getting too big and pressing on the spinal cord then you may need to get surgery to remove the pus. And also to fix the dissolving bones because they won't be able to support the weight of the body and may fracture making life even worse.
Next Steps
follow the doctor's advise
