There s good thing that the soft tissue component is healed according to recent m r I. That means your infection is getting better and will heal completely. However, there s some collapse at involved level in vertebrae which can be managed by using a brace ( thoraco- lumbo- sacral brace) and activity restrictions and modifications.
