If the test was positive, you would have had a bump on your arm!. Bruising can happen to anyone!. A chest X-ray wont hurt to be on the safe side!. The most I had to do was a 2 step TB test!. If you grew up outside of America, its possible that you were given a TB vaccine(!?), which would make all your tests come back positive!. In that case, you would need to get the chest x-ray everytime to see if you have developed it or not!. My friend is from Latvia and that is what happened to her!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
That sounds a little weird! If there was no bump or raised area then I would say you were fine!. A chest x-ray is to confirm TB!. I think I would maybe talk with another medical professional or even your local health department!. Good Luck to you and I hope everything works out for you!Www@Answer-Health@Com
It sounds like he thinks you have TB!. The X-ray will determine if you have TB or not!. Also, the additional tests will make sure it wasn't just a bad test!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
