Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Chest pain in TB patients is not always related to TB.
Musculoskeletal pain can be the cause.
But if you really wants to rule out TB then get done chest x ray.
If chest x ray is normal then no need to worry for TB.
Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs as and when required.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
