Q: I am a 40 years old male diagnosed with cervical spondylosis and bone tuberculosis. Is it curable?

A:Tuberculosis of cervical spine is curable but the extent of the disease process and the destruction caused so far will decide whether medicines alone will help or there is a requirement of surgical intervention. However follow all the precautions given; by the book, any pressure on the spinal cord can have disastrous neurological complications. Please purchase medicines from a reliable store and collect your bills. Beware of spurious anti tuberculosis medicines.
