hi...I am currently in the hospital and have been here since Nov. 1st. I have been telling the doctors that I have a lot of pain in my lower back for a long time and now have finally been admitted in. Now, they have put me on two different antibiotics and the second one has made some difference but not completely. Enough to be able to see the bone and now that has been infected but how serious is this....will I end up paralysed or what should I be looking for.
Another question, which has something to do with my brother....what is lupus
