Severe joint pain after a TB test;

For new employment, I dad a TB test on 11/11/2015 and after finding out it was NEGATIVE (thankfully) I now have developed severe joint pain and burning in my shoulders, hips, knees and elbows.  It feels like there is a fire in these parts of my body.  What should I do now?  Should I take the second part of the test??

It sounds like you had a reaction to the test. Which test did you take?

But, usually if you had a reaction to the TB skin test it is either redness and swelling or rarely a breathing problem not joint aches.
Do you have a high fever?
