[|Human|] Hi - My uncle in India has been complaining back pain for almost a year now. He is not able to walk. Complaining muscle pain in legs. Finally it was diagnosed as bone TB. Still waiting on some reports. They discharged him from the hospital. He is on antibiotics. But wanted to check, is it curable and what is the medication? How long will it take for him to walk on his own?
[|AI|]  Hello, I appreciate your concerns towards your uncle. It looks from your details that your uncle is having spine tuberculosis. Most probably he may be on anti-tubercular medicines (Rifampicin, Isoniazid, Ethambutol, Pyrazinamide). You should not worry about this, as nowadays TB is completely curable. The precaution should be followed properly by him to not walk and take complete medicines. It may take about 12 to 16 months for complete cure. In between your doctor may have complete blood examination and MRI Scan at intervals. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
