Hello
Welcome to health care magic forum
bone tuberculosis takes slightly longer time than lung tuberculosis .one month is very short period.Take regular full course of anti tubercular treatment for 6-9 months without any failure for speedy recovery.Don`t lift weight,as some times it leads to compression fractures.of vertebrae.As anti-tubercular drugs are hepatotoxic also ,so get liver function test from time to time.
Wish you good health

Hi.. A bone infections take more time in healing when compared to infection in other organs.. And the standard treatment period for tuberculosis is atleast 6 months.. So I guess, it is not absolutely not possible for finding cure in a months time..
