Hey, I've been experiencing joint and muscle pain that seems to move around my body. Every morning I wake up feeling really stiff and achy, but after some light exercise, the pain usually eases off. It gets much worse during the winter months, and honestly, the pain becomes unbearable. I'm pretty sure this all kicked off when I was around 15 years old. Could you suggest what kind of specialist I should consider seeing?

You may benefit from seeing a Rheumatologist. They specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the joints, muscles, and bones. In the meantime, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) as needed for pain relief.

Is there any medicine that can help manage the pain without relying on painkillers? I heard about M1V711 but not sure if it's still approved and available. Also, can Cartigen Duo provide any relief for her condition? Looking for alternatives to reduce her pain.

I'm curious if the joint pain I'm experiencing now could be related to my low platelet issue from 4 to 5 weeks ago. Everything else feels pretty good, but this pain is bothering me. What could be the cause?

I've been taking Tab Ezact 120mg once daily for severe knee pain, and my x-ray shows I might need a total knee replacement. For now, can I take two doses a day instead of one to manage the pain better? I'm worried about whether it's safe or if it could cause any issues
Avoid increasing Ezact dosage without supervision. Long-term use may affect kidneys or cause gastritis. Consult your doctor for safe alternatives.
