I've been on HCQS 200 tablets for about 15 years now for my rheumatoid arthritis. I'm starting to get a little worried if there might be any side effects from using it for such a long time. Could you tell me what I should look out for or if there's anything I should be concerned about?

Question

I'm experiencing sores in my mouth and pain in my lower limbs. Last year, I had sores in my mouth which were followed by sores on my genital area and similar pain in my lower limbs. Could this be Behet's disease, or might it be something else? I'm really concerned and would appreciate your guidance.

Question

I'm having some trouble with my legs. When I sit on the floor with my legs folded, they start hurting, and it's tough to stand up right away. It feels like something we call "timmurlu" in Telugu. After sitting like that, I can't stand for about 5 minutes. What could be causing this, and any ideas for a solution?

Question

I've been having some trouble lately. Whenever I do physical activity, I end up pulling muscles like my hamstring, and I feel like my joints, bones, and muscles are just weak. Its frustrating because I'm experiencing so much pain all overlike my low back, fingers, elbows, knees, you name it. A couple of months ago, I visited an orthopedic surgeon, and after some tests, it turned out I had high uric acid levels, so they gave me medicine for three weeks. But it didnt really help, and I'm still dealing with these issues. Could you help me figure out what's going on? What should I do next?
