Am I experiencing this severe knee and ankle joint pain because of the ATT? It's only been two months since I started, and I'm also dealing with pyrazinamide-resistant TB. I stopped taking it after two months. Is it okay to take a painkiller at night?

Question

I'm really worried about my uric acid level being at 9.2. Is that really dangerous for my kidneys? I'm hoping to bring it down naturally. Is it possible to do that without medication, or are meds the only way to go?

Question

I've been on medication for the past couple of weeks, but I still have this nagging pain in my chest and the areas around it. They detected BONE TB for me on April 24th. I've been experiencing severe pain in my chest and back, and it's been really hard to move. The doctors suspected Bone TB after running some tests and doing a CT scan. They confirmed it with an FCNA test. I actually had a similar issue back in 1992, and I had surgery for it, but it was resolved and everything was fine after that. I'm just worried about why the pain is still here despite the treatment, and if there's something else I should be doing or considering? Would appreciate any advice.

Question

I'm really worried about my husband's situation. He's dealing with uveitis, and every time he stops using his corticosteroids, the inflammation flares up again, so he has to go back on the meds. Right now, he's on dexamethasone, and he also has this HLA-B27 issue. Could you help me understand why this keeps happening?
