Hi I can understand your concern...

Noted you have tuberculosis spine....
Here rest has to be done ....
We want immobilization of spine so rest needed....

You can consult orthopedic surgeon for further examination and advise...

Functional bracing or cast immobilisation
Might be needed...

And yes anti tuberculosis therapy taken without break to avoid resistence of bacteria and proper management.....

Drugs (first line ) taken for 6 to 8 month....

Follow up regularly done as to avoid any deformity and response to therapy....

If neurological deficit , fracture , deformity occurs surgical management needed.

So continue with drugs and regular follow up.....

Take care.
