Hi, Thanks for writing in. You are taking the right medication if you were clinically diagnosed as TB spinal cord (?spine) and lungs. The pain is because of nerve irritation in your spine. The time taken for healing of the spine and recovery from pain may differ according to the spinal involvement. Your doctor may ask you to get repeat X-rays and MRI to know the disease activity. Usually patient is advised rest and minimal physical activity till such time that the disease is under control and becomes stabilized. You must continue to take medications till your doctor feels it is required. Hope this helps
