Hi

I am glad we connected.

TB over the spine may be seen with low immunity. One may also notice this with weight loss and with other diseases. Many people may also notice up to 10% weight loss.

This can cause the TB bacteria to spread to other parts of the body. Most types of TB are treated with Anti tubercular drugs. This may take up to 9 months to recover depending on the type of symptoms.

I hope this helps. Seeing a doctor as soon as possible would be a good idea.

I find this answer helpful
