Can I just take predmet 8 mg twice a day instead of the 16 mg my doctor prescribed? The 8 mg is the only strength available here. Is it going to be the same?

I'm dealing with costochondritis and I'm really feeling some pain around my rib. I've noticed a small lump above the skin on my rib too. Is this possibly a sign of cancer? I'm quite worried.
Its understandable to be concerned, but costochondritis typically causes rib pain due to inflammation of the cartilage, not cancer. The small lump you noticed could be a benign cyst or muscle-related, but its always a good idea to get it checked by a doctor to rule out any other concerns and get peace of mind.

I was told by the doctor to get an HLA B27 test done, and I'm trying to figure out how much it costs. Also, can you let me know when and where I can get the test report?
The HLA-B27 test is used to help diagnose autoimmune disorders like ankylosing spondylitis. The price of the test can vary depending on the lab or facility where you get it done. You can inquire about the price and schedule the test at any reputable diagnostic center or hospital near you. Once the test is done, the report is usually available within a few days. You can collect the test report from the same place where you got the test done.
