Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM .
Read and reviewed your query and health concerns.
IN the given situation, You seems to suffer from-TB Lungs with Pleurisy with Pleural effusion.
The plueritic pains are very agonising pains,as with each inspiration and expiration-the inflammed plueral covering of lungs, rub with costal plueral coverings.
Pain Management of Pleuritic Pains with Pleural Effussions-
Inj/Tabs-NSAIDs,
Intercostal Neural blocks with Aneasthetic -Xylocaine 2%
and steroid addition in pleural cavities are the ways out to control these pains.
Continued AKT till Pleural inflammation comes under full control is to be aimed in your case.This would take at least 3 more months, when your case needs to be reassessed.
Continued Check -X-rays / ESR / weight gain checks/ high protein-high carbo/high fat diet , along with Multivits, Vit D3,B12 and folic acid would go a long way to come out of this pain soon.
Hope this would help you to plan further of this complex illness of yours.
