question: Dear Dr. Siegel, my father has been diagnosed with suspected Potts Spine or TB Spondolitius. He is taking medicines since late nov. and has had back pain since early sept. He cant sleep on his right or back and now the left side is paiing as well. The MRI shows some compression of vertebra. He was having diclowin pain killer but stopped it. Is there anythig to mitigate his pain - seems that nerves are pressing. Regards - Harsh
