I'm a 23-year-old girl and I've been having back pains that get worse when I sit for a long time, like during my tuitions. It usually only gets better if I lie down. I'm thinking about taking Shelcal 500 mg since it has calcium and vitamin D3. Do you think it's okay for me to take one tablet every day to help with the pain? What do you suggest?

Bitter taste and weakness could be due to:

  5. Liver or kidney function changes

To alleviate bitter taste:

  1. Stay hydrated
  2. Eat small, frequent meals
  3. Avoid strong-smelling foods
  4. Try sugar-free gum or lozenges
  5. Consider zinc supplements (consult doctor)

Consult your doctor for:

  1. Follow-up evaluation

  3. Adjusting medications or diet

Recovery from typhoid fever can take time. Be patient and follow your doctor's guidance.

I've been dealing with a D12 compression fracture from an accident, and at first, the pain disappeared after about three months. But after a recent flight, I noticed some discomfort when the plane was landing. Now it's spreading to a few spots along with the original D12 area. Should I be thinking about going for another MRI or just stick to medication for now?

if the fracture is healed there will not be such problems in flight journey, it may be due back muscles strain because of long term sitting in upright posture, take hot or cold pack, if doesn't subside consult orthopedic surgeon

I had ACL surgery 3 months ago but still feel shaky on the MCL side when walking - my doctor says it's common after surgery but I'm worried. Are there any effective Ayurvedic treatments to strengthen the ligaments and improve stability?

Ayurvedic approaches can be beneficial for strengthening ligaments and promoting stability, but it's essential to consult with your doctor and a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner before incorporating these treatments. Ayurveda focuses on balancing body energies and promoting healing, and specific remedies and practices can be tailored to your individual needs
