Are Arm And Back Pain Common During Tuberculosis?

i was diagnosed to have mild TB after my xray but my sputum test had a negative result. The doctor still advised me to take FIXCOM 4 for 3 months which I did. But on my 2nd month I have been experiencing a lot of bone pains... arms.. fingers.. upper back... is this normal? Im also taking B complex.. but it s not working.. pain is not subsiding. Also.. im taking PHARMATON capsule as my daily vitamins.

I have studied your case.

There is possibility of TB arthritis
You may need to investigate like CRP ,CBC,ESR,liver function test.

I will advise you to take folic acid along with TB medication.

You need to take high protein diet.Fresh fruits and vegetables.
Avoid oily,spicy diet.Moderate exercises and adequate rest for good recovery.
