Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
Usually the TB Spine treatment is given for 12-18 months depending on the recovery.
I suppose you must have recovered by now, if you have been treated properly.
After initiation of treatment, if diagnosis is right then infection doesn't spread further and germs are completely destroyable.

This is my best advise for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me..
Stay Healthy.
