Painful how? like chest pains? TB mainly affects your lungs (pulmonary tuberculosis), and coughing is often the only indication of infection initially. Signs and symptoms of active pulmonary TB include: * A cough lasting three or more weeks that may produce discolored or bloody sputum * Unintended weight loss * Fatigue * Slight fever * Night sweats * Chills * Loss of appetite * Pain with breathing or coughing (pleurisy)Tuberculosis also can target almost any part of your body, including your joints, bones, urinary tract, central nervous system, muscles, bone marrow and lymphatic system.When TB occurs outside your lungs, signs and symptoms vary, depending on the organs involved. For example, tuberculosis of the spine may result in back pain, and tuberculosis that affects your kidneys might cause blood in your urine. Tuberculosis can also spread through your entire body, simultaneously attacking many organ systems.
