What Is The Treatment For The Adrenal Insufficiency?
I am a steroid dependant ( Taking HISONE) due to adrenal insufficiency. For the last six months I am on ATT. The Dr. says my TB treatment is a prolonged one and it may go for one and half years. During treatment ( third month) I had liver problems. After taking medication I am OK. Now blood is coming whenever I pass stools. Is this due to TB medication side effects. As and when I have this problem I have asked to take Tab SITCOM FOR 14 days. For the past one months I am having severe legal pain ( Both Bottom foot and calf muscle) Pain in the calf muscle is persisting even when I am resting. I shall be grateful if you could Kindly mail your answers to YYYY@YYYY . I am 54 year old weighing 53. 8 KG and height 5 feet 2 inches.

Hello,
Blood in stool is not caused by ATT (antitubercular treatment). So better to consult a surgeon and get done a clinical examination and ultrasound examination of the abdomen to rule out the intestinal cause for blood in the stool.
Also get done anal canal examination to rule out piles or fissures or haemorrhoids. Due to bleeding, your Hemoglobin might have reduced and this can cause lower limb pain. So get done haemoglobin estimation also.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
