Question

I'm really struggling with some health issues and could use some advice. Every time I get a cold or cough, I end up having trouble breathing, and it also triggers this back pain. Doing everyday things like washing clothes or standing for a while makes my back ache even more. When I have a cough, I can actually hear strange sounds and feel vibrations with my breath, which is worrying. I feel horribly sick, like my whole body is in pain, even when I'm just doing normal activities. Walking to work leaves my legs aching, and if I try something like dancing, my arms hurt like crazy. I'm just wondering what could be going on?

Question

I'm 20 and I'm experiencing a lot of body pain, just like I did three years ago. Back then, the doctor told me I had ASO titre positive after doing a blood test and recommended penidure injections and ecosprin tablets. I've been feeling this way again for the past three days. Could you please let me know what I should do next?

Question

I'm a bit concerned because my C-reactive protein is at 75. I'm wondering if I should be taking medication for this, or if regular exercise might help? Could you please give me some advice on what would be best?
