Hi
So I gather that you had pleural effusion ie fluid around your lung.
Now I don't know how they arrived at a diagnosis of tuberculosis
So if you have reports they would be helpful to review
Now that pain is probably due to thickening of the later outside your lung
You need to lung expansion exercises to prevent that thickening. You may do something called incentive spirometry
It would be advisable to get a repeat chest X-ray
If you have questions feel free to connect
