Doctor: Hello,It looks that you are taking anti tubercular treatment with Rifampicin, ethmbutol and isoniazid / pyrazinamide. The joint pain as a side effect is associated with rifampicin and isoniazid. The best thing is that you should not worry too much about this because this effect is temporary and will go away after taking complete course and stopping drugs. At present your preference should be to complete your anti tubercular therapy. I can understand your pain. You should keep your morale high. In case of severe pain you may have a mild analgesic like paracetamol for relief.Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
