    TB _really & truly_ *does* suck rotten, moose eggs in EVERY way, shape & form. Wishing this man a speedy recovery & a hurry up, get well soon! 🤞🍀

    I was diagnosed quite late with Potts spine after I lost all sensation in both legs and was hospitalised because i couldnt stand up. I had to have 4 levels of spinal implants because my L4 was shattered. I was in bed for 3 months after surgery but started physiotherapy. Now, 2 years later, I am completely fine and I do yoga too! Yes my lower back does stiffen up if I dont strech it regularly but hey - I can walk again! And run! And ride my bicycle!

    Tb, sarcoidosis and syphilis are known to have _protean manifestations_ - myriad symptoms with unguessable causes.
    And that’s a gruesome MRI.

    Interesting! I had a patient with TB in his spine many yrs ago. I don’t believe he went through chemo. Is that a newer option? Have you seen better results with it?

    does it mean that I was misdiagnosed?! Because I found a fracture in the thoracic section and abscesses in my spine... and they diagnosed me with fibromalgia... and I have no treatment. And for many years I have been walking hunched/I have currents in my hands and hand paresis - contractures... No I have no life... because I have a bad diagnosis 😭 and no one wants to treat me with FIBRO... my life has been ruined 😭😭😭😭😭😭💔😭💔😭💔😭

      ​@@pardeepsofat1979 Started walking after 2 days in the hospital and after 1 week i came home. Few days after that, I fell down at home and lost confidence and spent 2 months in bed. After that, my physio pushed me to walk and by the third month I was walking with a stick. You have to push yourself. It will hurt but keep walking and you can heal fully. Now I run and ride my bicycle regularly.
