I'm 20 and I'm experiencing a lot of body pain, just like I did three years ago. Back then, the doctor told me I had ASO titre positive after doing a blood test and recommended penidure injections and ecosprin tablets. I've been feeling this way again for the past three days. Could you please let me know what I should do next?

It sounds like your symptoms may be related to a recurrence of a condition like rheumatic fever. Please consult a doctor promptly for a detailed evaluation, including an ASO titer test and possibly other investigations. Early treatment with appropriate medication, like antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, is important to prevent complications.

I've been cracking my fingers in an unusual way, like sideways, which puts a lot of pressure on my joints. It's become a bad habit over the years. Now, the joints have grown, but theres no pain or tightnessjust feels a bit odd, though it seems normal to me. The thing is, it doesnt look normal; there's growth around the joints, especially the IP joints. When I touch them, it feels like theres extra tissue, and I can move it without any pain. Im curious about what this could be. Any ideas what's going on with my fingers?

I have been discovered with bakers cyst 12 cm in backside of my knee ...the knee hurts and calf muscles have swelled ...I am on medication for osteoarthritis. Will the cyst go away on its own and if drained by syringe will it come back Do I need surgery

A 12 cm Baker's cyst at the back of the knee can be large, causing pain and swelling, and may be related to osteoarthritis. While some Baker's cysts resolve on their own, this one may need treatment, possibly including aspiration (draining with a needle), and surgery is rarely needed. If drained, the cyst can return if the underlying knee problem isn't addressed.
