I'm dealing with spine TB and have been on ATT with complete bed rest for about four months now. I've started doing some cycling for 30 minutes because I really want to lose weight, but I'm wondering if this is a good choice since I sometimes feel pain in my spine area. I don't want to cut down on calories, so I'm hoping to lose weight through physical activity. What would you recommend? Should I keep cycling or maybe try something else?

Continue ATT as advised by the pulmonologist.
