Bone tuberculosis

[MagicMorung]

Hi,

I was diagnosed with Bone tuberculosis of the sternum about a month and a half ago after experiencing pain on and off for over two years. Wanted to connect with someone else who might have had a similar diagnosis. I was told, and it also seems like an unusual place for the infection to take hold. But that seems like a thing tb does.

Looking forward to exchanging notes!

Hi MagicMorung,

TB is always full of surprises - TB of the sternum is certainly new to me - that said, it just shows the truth of our advice that any part of the body can be affected apart from the hair and the nails.

Unfortunately I don't know of anyone who has suffered a similar form of TB but you will find that there are many similartities in the way people feel and react to tyheir diagnosis and treatment regardless of where their TB is. So feel free to post any specific questions - I'm sure you will get some good support.

Best wishes,

Helen
