Prolonged therapy: Bone TB especially when it involves the backbone takes a long time to get heal & requires prolonged treatment with anti-tb drugs for 18-24 months. Since you've had spine TB for more than a year now, please consult a TB specialist to assess if you could possibly have drug resistant TB as it would require treatment other than remactazid alone.
Created for people with ongoing healthcare needs but benefits everyone.

A member asked:
I have had left knee pain off and on for years and several years back a procedure was performed where shaving of some bone spurs was done. My knee pain has come and gone since. However, about 1 year ago, I injured it by lifting my leg and with some force met the corner of a wall with the top of my knee. X-rays showed no break. Doctor prescribed PT, which did not help. Pain has continued/worsened. There is now bruising (black and blue) on the inside of my knee. Is this worrisome? Knee pain?
