Hi,Welcome to healthcare magic.After going through your query I think You are suffering from chronic backache .It is related to some extend to your old pulmonary tuberculosis as healing occur by fibrosis and calcification . After the treatment the x ray remains the same.it does not change so no need to worry. Treatment of back pain is exercises ,Cartisafe D once daily,NUROKIND GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (diclofenac 100mgSR) whenever pain. Sometimes vitamin D deficiency is the cause so get your vitamin D checked .If it is low then vitamin D supplementation(Bon DK 60K weekly with milk) can be taken.Avoid long continuous sitting .Sit in a straight posture.Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily. To further investigate MRI of the region is advised . I think your query answered.Welcome to any follow up query
