Do not worry. It is treatable. Get to a doctor fast because any kind of bacterial infection of the bone could be nasty if left untreated.
Some facts:

You need to get a definitive diagnosis and get fast treatment. See your doctor who can arrange tests asap.
Hope this helps.

The cause of it is a bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The symptoms include, "fever, chills, anorexia, weight loss, and local swelling." However, those symptoms do not automatically point to TB. "Tuberculosis osteomyelitis is treated with the same anti-TB medications used for the pulmonary form of tuberculosis," which are usually the antibiotics isoniazid and rifampin.
