###Human: When will the bone pain be cured totally after taking AKT 4? ###Assistant: Hi. I have gone through your reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You have Potts spine which is similar to tuberculosis of the spine. see it takes almost six weeks for AKT (Ethambutol and Isoniazid) to work. It is a slow process. What you need to know is that with medicines your systemic symptoms should improve like weight loss, loss of appetite and any fever if you have. If these symptoms are improving, then your medications are working. Another thing is to get your ESR done. If it has a decreasing trend then that is fine. No need to get an MRI done. There is no role of food. Just have a balanced diet.
