My mom, who's 52, has been experiencing this burning sensation all over her body for about two months now. She's seen a couple of doctors, including a neurologist, and had tests done for sugar, BP, cholesterol, and nerves, but everything's coming back normal. The doctors recently told her she has hypothyroidism and she's been on medication for it for the last 25 days, but there's still no improvement. I'm really concerned and not sure what to do next. Could you offer any advice?

Since she has already consulted with a neurologist and undergone various tests which have come back normal, it may be worth considering neuropathic pain management. Medications such as Gabapentin (Neurontin) or Pregabalin (Lyrica) can be prescribed to help alleviate neuropathic pain. The dosage would depend on her individual condition and should be determined by her treating physician. Additionally, topical treatments like Capsaicin cream can also be used for localized relief. It's important to continue working closely with her healthcare provider to find the most effective treatment plan for her symptoms.

My body posture seems off and my chest looks a bit like breasts. What can I do to fix this and which specialist should I see? Could this affect my chances of joining the Indian Army through technical entry? Is surgery required to correct this?

Chest appearance and posture may indicate gynecomastia or scoliosis‚Äîconsult a plastic surgeon or orthopedic specialist for diagnosis and Army eligibility.
