Now at 5 months, stable-ish imaging. But concern for compression spinal cord (probably from natural progression). Super high risk surgery and surgeon has agreed to go in and do a corpectomy.

So was diagnosed with sustained candademia initially, signs of discitis found T12-L1 on MRI. Presumed diagnosis. No biopsy done.
After 3 months of therapy, worsening symptoms, small collection found, aspirated - culture positive. Too sick at the time and comorbid thus not surgical candidate.
