Please suggest if any he can do any exercise for the back.Any other suggestion for speedy recovery.The period for which medication is likely to continue may also be advised.
Dear Sir,
My father who is 59 years old had been suffering from backache since last 3-4 months and the doctors could not actually diagonise for so long and has opined that it must be a Spondylitis TB affecting lower thoracic D11 D12 region and he is not been able to move or stand for long and will always be trying to lie on his stomach saying that is the only position where he finds less pain. And at times he suddenly bursts with tears for the pain. Doctors are still trying to investigate whether the problem is actually TB or something else. Right now he is admitted to BGS Global Hospital, Bangalore.
He is not able to go for a MRI due to his back problem and doctors will be providing anaesthasia to the region and take for MRI.
Thank you for providing the forum.
