Have Spinal Cord TB. Undergone Treatment, Medicines Taken. Second MRI Taken. Continue The Medicines Or Stop It?
My mother was suffering from spinal cord TB from august 2011.
She has undergone treatment since that time having the medicines prescribed by doctors in bokaro steel city, jharkhand. Now after a period of time we have my mother is still continuing with the medicines Also a 2nd MRI scan of her is done where in no doctor here is able to guide us on the steps we should undertake to either stop the medicines or to continue with them. my mother is now 90 % recovered and we are afraid of the fact that taking those steroids for longer period then required would not harm my mother's body. kindly guide me with certain doctors/ hospitals in kolkata wherein i can take her to see if the tuberculosis virus of the spine is still their or not.
