I'm experiencing a strange cold, wet sensation just below my right knee, and I've been having some pain in both knees, especially when climbing stairs. My calf muscles also feel warm. I've had my vitamin D levels checked, an MRI of my back, and some physiotherapy, but everything seems normal. Why am I feeling this sensation in my knee, and which type of doctor should I consult?

You may be experiencing nerve-related symptoms in your knee. The sensation of coldness could be due to nerve irritation or compression. Since your MRI of the back is normal and you have already undergone physiotherapy, it may be helpful to consult with a Neurologist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try taking a medication like Gabapentin to help with nerve-related symptoms and pain. Additionally, you can apply a topical medication like Capsaicin cream to the affected area for pain relief. It's important to follow up with a Neurologist for a comprehensive assessment and tailored treatment plan.

Question

I've been told my uric acid level is at 9.9. Can you tell me if it's okay for me to eat kala chana? Is it good for managing my condition? Also, what other things should I be doing or eating to help control my uric acid levels, and what should I definitely avoid?

Question

I've been dealing with this strange issue where my fingers swell up at night. It's happened four times this month, and it's just the phalanges, not the whole finger. It starts with itching, then affects about 12 of these tiny finger bones at once, but on different fingers each time. There's no joint swelling or pain, just itching and a sense of tightness where it swells. It goes away by morning and there's no other symptoms alongside it. Should I be worried or get this checked out?

Question

I'm really worried because my CRP Reactive Protein level has shot up to 29 mgDL. I read on Google that anything over 10 mgDL means a higher risk for heart attacks. Right now, I'm dealing with some unwanted swellings and really bad back pain. How can I bring this level down quickly? Would love some advice on this.
