Spinal infections are serious conditions, but many are treatable depending on the type, extent of infection, and whether the nerves or spinal cord are involved. From what you have described—initial back pain followed by progressive numbness starting in the leg and now involving the lower body—this suggests possible nerve or spinal cord compression. Progressive numbness is considered a warning sign and should never be ignored. Doctors recommend urgent surgery in certain spinal infections not to rush patients, but to prevent permanent nerve damage, weakness, paralysis, or bladder and bowel complications. Conditions such as discitis, spondylodiscitis, epidural abscess, or tubercular spine may sometimes be managed medically, but once neurological symptoms worsen, surgical decompression may become necessary. Delaying appropriate intervention in such cases can lead to irreversible damage. Homeopathy has a supportive and complementary role in spinal infections—especially in improving immunity, reducing inflammation, aiding pain control, and supporting recovery in stable or chronic cases. However, it cannot replace emergency surgical intervention when there is progressive neurological involvement. Ethical and safe care always comes first, and any treatment decision must be based on MRI findings and neurological assessment. I would advise a direct consultation so your MRI reports and symptoms can be reviewed in detail and proper guidance given. You may contact Dr. Jyoti Kadkol at Health Global Homoeopathy Clinic, where we also help patients with second opinions, supportive care alongside conventional treatment, and post-surgical recovery.
