Neck Pain, Joint Pain, Ankles Pain, Numbness. Diagnosed With Spine TB. Help?
I have an employee who was diagnose with spine tb about 12 months ago and went through treatment for 8 months. His condition improved greatly but has suddenly deteriorated over the last few weeks. He now complaints of stick neck pains, chest pains, joint pains in arms and ankles with occasional numbness. What do you recommend bearing in mind we have very limited access to specialist medical services in Zimbabwe, Africa?
