Hello Doctor, I am 32 years old male suffering from frequent fatigue, chills in the evenings along with severe lower back pain and lower abdominal pain for last 4 months. In the first month visited a orthopedic who suggested me for x-ray, ultrasound for abdomen and found it to be clean later assuming it to be muscle spasms and gave myoril tablets. The pain and suffering continued while havin certain spicy oily and caffeine foods and consulted a gastro, he ruled out appentics, hernia and put me on gastro medicines but the pain continued again. Last week Gastro doc suggested me for a CT scan, in the CT scan the radioligist found a swollen lymph node of 6cm x 3cm in the lower abdomen region, behind the navel and infront of spine, and mentioned it is likely tuberculosis. Could this swollen lymph node be the reason for abdominal and back pain ? My doctor mentioned it is Lymph node TB and general surgeon doctor has put me on TB medications now. I have started taking my TB medications and it is my 7th day, the pain is still there, should I be taking pain killers to subside the lower back pain and abdominal pain ? Will these TB medications - 4antibiotics (isonaid, rifampcin, ethan, inh) cure my swollen lymph node ?, how much time will it take to reduce the size of the swollen lymph node ?
