Question 1

My blood test report shows ASO 200, and my doctor has diagnosed me with arthritis. I would like to know if this condition can be cured, and what treatment or steps I should follow.

Question 2

I was found HLA B27 positive last week. I have been experiencing back pain for one year and cramps in both legs. My doctor (MD, BAMS) prescribed the following medicines:
Rabewal LSR (rabeprazole sodium 20 mg, levosulpiride 75 mg) BD before meals
Saaz (sulfasalazine USP 500 mg) BD
Gabaxon (methylcobalamin 500 mcg, gabapentin 300 mg) Half tablet BD
Soft P (nimesulide 100 mg, paracetamol 325 mg) BD
Wysolone (prednisolone 5 mg) BD
Lasilactone (furosemide 20 mg, spironolactone 50 mg) Half tablet OD
Is this the correct treatment for my condition?

Question 3

Hello Doctor, I am a 24 year old male experiencing persistent knee pain along with occasional hip discomfort. I initially consulted an orthopedic doctor who advised me to do exercises, but there was no improvement. I then visited a rheumatologist who prescribed SAAZ 1000 mg, Zycel 200 mg, and administered a Solumedrol injection. The pain subsided for a while, but after about a month, it returned. I had stopped all medications by then and went back to an orthopaedic doctor, who prescribed Mexate 7.5 mg once a week. My blood test showed that HLA B27 is positive, but all other parameters were within the normal range. I am now confused about whether this is spondyloarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Additionally, I have a personal concern, I masturbate daily, and I would like to know if this could have any effect on my joint or knee pain.

I have bone pain, neck pain, body pain, and severe pain with burning sensation in my leg fingers. How can I find out if this is arthritis? Are there any specific tests that can confirm arthritis?

Bone/body pain could signal vitamin deficiency. Arthritis could also be a cause. Tests help find the reason. Early evaluation guides treatment. Do not ignore persistent pain.
