Does Ocassional Pain The Arm And Shoulder Indicate Relapse Of TB?

Hi
I am Asian living in UK. I developed swollen lymph node on my both sides of neck. I was tested for possibility of TB. Though the biopsy sample didn't really grew but I was been asked to do whole TB medicines course, 2 years back which I took. I get occasional pain in my arm and shoulder on right side. Should I be worried about TB relaps? I am continuing with vit D suppliment OTC ones. Plz guide. I would want to start a family soon.Thanks & regards.

Hi i did review your question and concern. I believe occasional pain over arm and shoulder should not be a worrying sign for tuberculosis. However you can get a complete check up by a physician to check for any swelling in axilla or below elbow for lymph nodes. I would advice you to take multivitamin tablets that includes Vitamin B6 as you might have its deficiency due to long term intake of tb drug before 2 years and deficiency of b6 can cause neuropathic pain in some patients.
i hope this helps.
keep a healthy diet and exercise plan
