Question 1

My wife has been suffering from upper back pain for the past 20 days. Initially, the pain was radiating, but now it has become localized to a pinpoint area in the upper middle back. We have done an X ray and blood tests, and both came back normal. So far, we have consulted three orthopedic doctors, but she has not found any relief from the pain.

Question 2

Hello doctor, my mom is 55 years old. Her hemoglobin level and platelet count are normal, and she is not anemic, but she still has consistent body pains and feels very tired. Can you help me understand the reason for this?

Question 3

Hi, I have been living in Chennai for the past 8 months. My skin is of wheatish complexion, but it has become dull and darker, likely due to the weather. My hands, which are already darker than my overall body tone, have also become very dark. Even when I use sunscreen, I have tried Lotus and Rivela, my face still looks instantly darker. I have also tried various home remedies to remove tan, but they have not worked. I am now considering using dermocosmetic products. Are they effective? Can they provide permanent results in removing the darkness from my skin? Kindly suggest.

Recurrence of joint pain and swelling may point to a vitamin D deficiency or an inflammatory joint issue like arthritis. A rheumatologist or orthopedician would be the right specialist to consult.
