Spine tuberculosis
I am suffering from spine t.b and been on streptomycin and akt3 for 3 months . I got an mri done to chk the progress but it came out and it said disease is progressing with psoas abscess . I have gained weight and the pain has decreased a lot compared to what it used to be like . The doctor I am seeing recommend to get a biopsy done. I am not able to believe that there hasn't been any improvement at all . Isn't it possible to have abscess with some sort of improvement !? I also want to know if first line tuberculosis drugs initially work for mdr t.b too ? I have attached picture of new mri .
