Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
Bone Tuberculosis is a curable disease with the presently available antituberculous drugs provided a correct diagnosis of bone TB is made.
Its very unlikely that the symtoms are still persisting despite the treatment. A likelihood of a secondary bacterial infection is a possibility.
A thorough clinical examination and appropriate investigations like TB serology, TB antibodies, MRI scan of the involved area and other hematological parameters etc are needed to establish a possible diagnosis.
Hope this information is helpful.

Good day
