Feels like I've got these needle-like pricks in the joints of my lower back whenever I sit and it's been happening for the last few days. I've never had this issue before. Any ideas on how I can get it back to normal?

View allI've been dealing with chest pain for a while now, and it sometimes comes with back pain as well. I've seen a few doctors, including an orthopedic, a cardiologist, and a general doctor, but each time they said there's no problem and just gave me painkillers. The pain still hasn't completely gone away. I recently visited a rheumatologist, and they suggested I take Gabapin NT for a month. Is this medication safe to use? I've also read online that it might cause weight gain. Could that be true? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate any advice.
Patient is advised to ootinue tablet gabapin NT once a day for atleast 3 months.

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.

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.
