Hello,

You are on TB medications since 2011 which is quiet long. Your blood report shows improvement in the ESR and HB which indicate resolution of the disease. I feel you need to see your specialist for follow up visit and discuss about need of the medications. You can join your college. I advise you not to take part in any activities which can harm your spine.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shiva Kumar R., Neurologist
