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.

I've been dealing with high uric acid levels and was at around 7.6 a couple of months ago. After starting on zyloric 100 mg tablets daily, it's dropped to 6. But I'm still struggling with a burning sensation in my feet. My uncle, who's a doctor, suggested I try Rejunuron injections, so I took five doses of the 500 mcg injection. Even with that, the burning feeling hasn't gone away. Could you help me understand why this might still be happening and what steps I could take to get rid of this annoying burning in my feet?

That could be Peripheral neuropathy,take vit B12 shot once in a week for 4 weeks and later alternate weeks and also massage your feet by placing them in warm salt water at bed time tjis would help,if its still becoming worse visit Physician for medical treatment

I've been having severe back pain for a while now lower back, middle, even up to my shoulders. It's been two years since my uterus was removed due to stage 1 cervical cancer, and my follow-up ultrasounds every three months show everything's normal, including my ovaries. The X-rays are clear too, but the pain won't go away. It's really affecting my daily life and mental peace. What could be causing this constant back pain even though all my reports are fine? Any suggestions on how to manage it?

MRI is advised,post share the report.
