Hi,
AKT3 is a medication given for TB but very rarely for 2 years. It's probably a good idea to reassess the actual cause of the pain again possible by obtaining a tissue diagnosis with the help of fresh imaging studies and a biopsy if needed.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
