My mom's been on arthritis medication and we just got her liver function test results back. Her GGT levels are up to 84, and I'm really worried. Is this something dangerous? Can we do something about it? Would love your insight.

Mentioned GGT value shows it's on the higher side. It would be better to take any well know liver supplementation along with it Next Steps Please get an Ultrasound whole abdomen done too

Question

I've been dealing with lower back pain and taking homeopathy medicine, but now I've got a new issue. About 45 minutes after I fall asleep, I get this intense pain that spreads through my entire back on both sides of my spinal cord, and it becomes impossible to find a comfortable angle to sleep. Then, in the morning, the pain in my spinal cord is really bad, but it eases up after 10 or 15 minutes, and I'm back to my usual lower back pain. What can I do to get some relief and finally get a good night's sleep?

Question

Why does using fastum gel make my lower left leg hurt even more? My doctor recommended it for my muscle pain, but it seems to be causing more discomfort. I'm curious to know why this is happening.

Question

I've been dealing with pain in my legs for the past 23 days and it's pretty concerning. I've had similar leg pains before, especially when I sit right under a fan or AC. Could that be a cause? What do you think might be going on?
