Spinal tuberculosis is a destructive form of tuberculosis. It accounts for approximately half of all cases of musculoskeletal tuberculosis. Spinal tuberculosis is more common in children and young adults. Characteristically, there is destruction of the intervertebral disk space and the adjacent vertebral bodies, collapse of the spinal elements, and anterior wedging leading to kyphosis and gibbus formation. The thoracic region of vertebral column is most frequently affected. Formation of a ‘cold’ abscess around the lesion is another characteristic feature. The incidence of multi-level noncontiguous vertebral tuberculosis occurs more frequently than previously recognized. Common clinical manifestations include constitutional symptoms, back pain, spinal tenderness, paraplegia, and spinal deformities.The most important factor in SCI rehabilitation programme is early rehabilitation. The positioning in the acute phase, early starting of passive, active-assisted and active exercises will greatly contribute standing of the patient earlier and to mobilize. Standing and mobilization are not recommended in the acute period for these patients. Generally, standing and ambulation are recommended during the subacute period. Patients with spinal tuberculous, bracing with a conforming orthosis (plaster or molded thermoplastic) has been used in combination with antituberculous drugs as initial treatment. Bracing is continued 3 mo after the first radiologic sign of bony fusion[37]. The onset of pain or increase in pain during exercise programs in the early period should be evaluated carefully. Pain aggravating exercises should be avoided and the exercise program should be discontinued if there is a significant increase in pain intensity disturbing the patient following the rehabilitation program. The patient should not be exhausted during exercise and mobilization and should have adequate resting after exercise. High calorie diet regimens should be provided since metabolic requirements are increased during both disease and the rehabilitation period.

You seem to be suffering from perennial rhinitis leading to secondary respiratory infection off and on causing cough. Save yourself from common allergens like dust, smoke, pollens by covering your nose. Keep away from places where cleaning is going on. Use freshly laundered bedsheets and pillow covers as these are the commonest sources of allergens. In case a bout of running nose and sneezing starts, get some antihistamine preparation from your family physician immediately without waiting for day 2 or day 3 as the flowing secretions tend to descend the respiratory tract and then later on antihistamines make them more viscid and difficult to cough out. Don't use cough suppressants like corex or phensidyl. Instead get some good expectorant for initial 2 or 3 days only to bring out any tough secretion out. Following all this must help you a lot in future.
