[|AI|]  Dear patient Skeletal Tb is a long and arduous disease and unlike other infections the cure takes many months. In my experience it takes 6-9 months for the medication to really start to take effect.However, the cause of pain in your case is actually inflammation of joint in which case anti-inflammatories like Ibuprofen 800 mg twice a day might help. I must add that Tb medications have a strong impact on the liver and I hope you are getting your Liver profile checked monthly m quite sure Ibuprofen will give immediate relief however as a precaution I suggest you inform your treating physician before you start taking the educational the very best
