The biggest problem with spinal infections is not treatment, but rather early diagnosis before serious morbidity occurs. The mean duration of symptoms from onset to diagnosis ranges from 2 days to 6 months (mean 1 month). A careful review of the patient's history and physical examination findings as well as the laboratory data and diagnostic imaging studies is necessary. The differential diagnosis for spinal infections should at least include herniated intervertebral disc, multiple myeloma, metastatic carcinoma, vascular lesions, and vertebral collapse from minor trauma in a patient with osteoporosis.

If he's not having surgery, it should take a year.
