Suggest Treatment For Severe Lower Back Pain
My brother is getting lot of low back pain. Some test has been performed by doctor and reports are
(i) Bone marrow test:
ERYTHROPOIESIS: Normoblastic with predominance of intermediate erythroblasts
Plasma cells: slightly elevated comprising 12% of all nucleated cells. Few binucleated forms present.
(ii) HIV and Hepatitis B: non reactive
(iii) MRI scan report:
Abnormal marrow signal intensity of L2 vertebral body
Possibilities are- Metastasis, Marrow proliferative disorder, infective spondylitis
L4/5 intervertebral disc dessication with diffuse disc bulge causing thecal compression with mild narrowing of bilateral neural foraminae.
Osseous spinal canal stenosis from L1 to L5 vertebral levels
Please let me know what kind of disease is this one. Doctor is saying it may be cancer or bone TB and he has prescribed medicine for bone TB. How many days time it will take to get some relief.
