Hi
I do not think so it is related to the uric acid or the tuberculosis treatment.
Certain anti tubercular medications can cause increase in the uric acid levels and the joint pain, but if the uric acid is normal , you probably need to look at some other cases of the joint pains.
go for some investigations like CBC, CRP, ESR, ANA ato rule out other causes of joint pain.
Thanks.
