  5. I'm dealing with an abscess in my underarm and some mild back pain, and I just found out my Mantoux test came back positive with an ESR of 30. Could this mean I have spinal tuberculosis? And if it is, are the medications they give out at district health centers for spinal and lung tuberculosis the same? I'm pretty worried about what all this means.
