Radiological diagnosis of Carries Spine or Pott's spine (Tuberculosis of Spine) as it is called will need a little more work up. Requires Chest Xray, ESR (blood test), PCR RT if other tests inconclusive. Empirical treatment of starting Anti TB medication is also practiced but relatively outdated. Please see an Orthopedic Surgeon in person. The treatment is usually medication for 6-8 months or more.
