Dear Practo user ,
If no intervention done on your disc previously then your condition is also known as tubercular spondylitis ( Potts spine ) .
You can take some TB rest , but it’s not 100% sensitive or specific ., though it’s better to have such test before starting ATT ( anti tubercular drug ) . ATT of spine likely to continue for 12-18 months and if psoas abscess is causing significant symptoms ,it’s drainage can also be done if required .
