Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

Ideally, I would have liked to see the film of the MRI. Your report tells me the level of the problem. However, it does not tell me the extent of the problem. For that I need to see the film of the MRI or the x ray directly. You could have uploaded the image.

Your report says that the radiologist suggests that the problem may be due to tuberculosis. Now for TB, we have quite an effective treatment that you can have to cure yourself. The Tb is a bone TB, so the treatment will have to be taken for longer time than usual.

As for a good hospital, you could always go to Apollo in Hyderabad. meet any physician there and you can be initiated on treatment. Of course make sure you are comfortable getting there. You may have to go there periodically for monitoring and update and modification of treatment.

Do an LFT prior to starting medicines.

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Please feel free to ask another query. I would be glad to help you. Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
(If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)
Best of luck.
