Hello
AKT treatment is not expected to cause knee pain.
Some medicines in antitubercular therapy may cause liver damage.So,it is important to monitor liver enzymes during AKT therapy.
Knee pain may be due to some reasons.You need proper clinical examination and X-ray of knee in AP/Lateral view can be taken.
Further investigations can be done if needed.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.
Empirically you may take short course of analgesics.You may recover.
Take Care
