I had spine tuberculosis. Now after 9 months of medicine I had checkup and now reports and MRI signals the tb is now cured. Only issue in MRI suggest disc related issue which doctor said to consult physiotherapist. Doctor also suggested although tuberculosis is over but doctor said to continue 9more months of tb medication as per nizam institute of medical sciences guideline. My worry is if I continue 9 months of tb medication especially when tb is over, will it be good for my health or not�.
