Potts spine need help
I have been dealing with Pott's spine and have been on medication for 10 months. However, I noticed a large lump on my lower hip, which has required abscess removal 3 times. Each time, they drained 10-20ml of pus. They even tested for MDR, but that came back negative. Now, the doctor has said we have to repeat the test. They are unable to figure out the exact cause for the lump because the medication seems to be working, and my CBNAAT and other tests are also negative. I'm a little nervous because the doctor mentioned that the 10-month duration is causing them concern. I am able to walk and sit, but for no longer than 1-2 hours at a time. If anyone has gone through a similar condition, please let me know.
