Stopping TB medicine due to joint pains
Does TB medicine cause Joint pain?
I have been taking TB medicine for my neck lymphnodes since last 10 months 15 days and still continuing. I think, My lymphnodes gone completely now.
I am having pains in my joints like ankles, elbow, wrist and fingers. Does this go away after stopping medication?
I am thinking to stop the tb medicine but i am so afraid to stop them.
The reason i am taking tb medicine more than 9 months is bacause they have gone completely and came back at the end of the six months while i am on medication.
I also lost some vision and was told that ethambutol caused this issue. So i am taking Rifampicin and isonized since last 3 months.
Any advice please?

Yes, but only Pyrazinamide causes arthopathy .. that you are not taking. So consult rheumatologist for further evaluation.. n max 12month regimen is enough for LN /TB.
