hi, i had diagnosed with spinal tuberculosis one and half year ago. At that time my doctors told me that its primary stage because of no spine deformation.i took the medicine for 9 month and took 3 month total bed rest. Now i dont have any back pain normally, but some time when i sit for 4-5 hours in college,then i have little bit pain..and as i have gain too much weight due to bed-rest and medicine. can i start light exercise or gym?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. The level of physical activity would depend on the status of your spine. If your TB has healed and the spine/vertebrae are stable, then, there is no problem in doing exercises. This can be confirmed by doing an MRI scan of the spine. Please discuss this issue with your treating doctor. I am sure that with one and a half years of good treatment, your disease would have healed, and you should be able to start exercises. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
