Hello,
As due to TB there will be the least movement in the spine. Post-treatment there will be less pain but the mobility of the spine may have reduced which may have led to the fusion of the spinal joints. So the doctor would have diagnosed it as ankylosing spondylitis. Need some blood test and MRI to rule out certain things.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
