I've been experiencing some pain in my left arm, mainly in the biceps, triceps, and forearm areas. Ive already done an ECG and a lipid profile test, and both came back normal. I'm really concerned about what could be causing this discomfort. Could there be something else going on that I should check out?

This type of left arm pain could be musculoskeletal in nature, possibly due to overuse or muscle strain. I recommend taking a pain reliever such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help with the discomfort. Additionally, applying a topical analgesic cream like diclofenac gel can also provide relief. Make sure to rest the affected arm and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, consult with a physiotherapist for further evaluation and management.

I'm a 45-year-old woman, 66 kgs and 5.2 ft tall, mostly at home doing housework. Lately, I've been having knee pain, especially when climbing stairs or standing for more than 5 minutes. An orthopedic surgeon did an X-ray and said it's early-stage patellofemoral arthritis, but there's no specific treatment just some physio. Can you guide me on what I should and shouldn't do in my daily life to manage this better?

Avoid stairs, high-impact tasks; strengthen quads, wear proper footwear—weight loss also helps knee arthritis.
