My relative's been dealing with Bone TB in the back, specifically the spine, and he can't walk now. He's been on medications and injections for about 17 days, and he's eating fine. Is there any hope for a full recovery? The pain in his back is pretty severe, even though he's taking Rectac 500 to help with it. What more can we do to help improve his condition? I'm really concerned.

Question

I've been having a lot of back pain lately, and sometimes it spreads to my hip. I cant sit for more than 15 minutes or walk for more than 30 minutes without the pain kicking in. This all started just 25 days ago, and I can't help but worry about how long itll take for me to get better. Plus, I'm concerned about how this might affect a future pregnancy. Could you give me some insight into what might be going on and what I should do?

Question

I'm wondering if it's really necessary to have a POP for an air crack in my left hand. They used a plaster of Paris bandage on it, but I'm not in much pain. Do you think just a roll bandage would be enough?

Question

I'm having severe pain in my right wrist when I twist it clockwise, especially right below the bone that sticks out. It gets really bad when I try to turn doorknobs. What kind of splint or cast should I be using if I want to fix this in a few weeks?
