My wife has been dealing with TB Meningitis for the last two years. She completed the TB medication course, but she's still struggling with a lot of neural and back pain. An MRI showed signs of myelitis and some changes in her spinal cord, which has us really concerned. The doctors say that while the TB bacteria is gone, the damage might be beyond repair and her chances of recovery are slim at best. They've recommended physiotherapy and visiting pain management centers for her current pain. For about a year and a half, shes been on Gabapin 300 and Gabantip AT. Can you suggest any pain management centers, or maybe share your thoughts on any potential for recovery?

My son has been dealing with lower back pain for 7 months now, with constant pain in both legs and occasional numbness in his left leg. Medicines give some relief, but the pain keeps coming back. Since he's still young, I really want to avoid surgery are there other treatment options that could help?

Your son's symptoms of lower back pain, leg pain, and occasional numbness, especially with the duration of 7 months, could indicate sciatica or another nerve-related condition. It's important to seek professional medical advice for diagnosis and treatment, as the underlying cause may require specific management.
