Hi,

The basic treatment consists of medicinal treatment to control basic infection along with high protein, vitamin supplements for improved general condition. Pain can be managed by physiotherapy & pain medicines. When infection is under control, in case spine is affected, a surgical intervention can be done to give relief for neurogenic pain in legs, hips, back bone. Please discuss this with your treating physician &orthopedic surgeon.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
