Bone and joint TB treatment is of long duration. One needs to assess current status by detailed assessment with clinical examination and proper history followed by appropriate investigations is needed.
Infection in your SI joint might have been cured..But The after effects of infection like erosion of the joint may persist..This might be the cause of your pain..Even your MRI would show the same... Ultimately if the pain is not much and quality of your life is good, you can wait..Get orthopedic surgeon consultation for clinical examination and further treatment.
