MDR TB Side effects

Im a sufferer of MDR TB and started treatment since mnth. The dosage includes cycloserine, ethionamide, pyrazinamide levofloxacin, ethambutol, pyridoxine and kanamycin injtns (6 times) for six months. My knees started aching since 5 days my treatment nd it is difficult to sit nd get up. I have seen a doctor nd he told its because of increase in uric acid levels nd prescribed me a tab. Will i be relived from my joint nd knee pains after the complete treatment or do I need a change in medication?
