So my doctor suggested for a Small surgery.... I am a bit scared of my situation..kindly suggest An another alternative method.. [/INST] Hello, Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. You mentioned that you are having spine tuberculosis from one year (Potts spine). One nodule is not resolving even after 4 months of treatment. So advised surgery. But you mentioned that even after 4 months treatment of tuberculosis at one site. In my opinion please don't get surgery as this nodule will resolve after full course of treatment. Upload the latest Scan & X-ray report of nodule. Good luck.  Chat Doctor.  </s>
