Without having seen the patient or the MRI images, it is very difficult to opine.
In view of no improvement, the possibilities are 1) Involvement of bone and ligaments causing instability
2) Compression of the nerves or spinal cord
3) TB not responding to medicines.
You definitely need to consult a Neurospine specialist.
