Hello,
Are you talking about spinal tuberculosis? Because considering your case and with MRI report suggestive of abscess possibility of spinal tuberculosis is likely. You should have elaborated on the MRI report in detail. Now if it's spinal tuberculosis your father should be given anti-tuberculosis drugs on a daily basis for at least nine months. Four drug AKT is started initially. Along with drugs he should be given strict bed rest and spinal brace. These drugs take time for relief sometimes up to one month so continue with medication and wait. He should be given a high protein diet and strict bed rest. Monthly follow up for symptoms relief and blood report required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jayesh Vaza
