Question 1

I've been on medication for the past couple of weeks, but I still have this nagging pain in my chest and the areas around it. They detected BONE TB for me on April 24th. I've been experiencing severe pain in my chest and back, and it's been really hard to move. The doctors suspected Bone TB after running some tests and doing a CT scan. They confirmed it with an FCNA test. I actually had a similar issue back in 1992, and I had surgery for it, but it was resolved and everything was fine after that. I'm just worried about why the pain is still here despite the treatment, and if there's something else I should be doing or considering? Would appreciate any advice.

Accepted Answer

Despite 15 days of medication, persistent chest and surrounding area pain, along with a confirmed diagnosis of bone TB through CT scan and FCNA test, warrants a review of your treatment plan

Question 2

I've just had my uric acid levels checked, and they're at 9.2. I'm wondering what precautions I should be taking with this? Also, is it okay to take calcium and vitamin supplements given this situation? I'm curious about what positive or negative effects they might have. Plus, my blood pressure is at 10050  is that something to be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

Follow a healthy diet plan that has mostly vegetables and fruits, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products. Limit sugar-sweetened foods and drinks, especially those that have high fructose corn syrup. Limit alcohol because it can increase uric acid levels in the blood and avoid short term diets for the same reason.Yes, calcium supplements can be taken by people with high uric acid, and calcium may even help lower uric acid levels

Question 3

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?

Visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

-The pain you're experiencing now doesn't seem like a recurrence of dengue, especially with a normal platelet count. It could be related to other factors like muscle strain or stress on joints, and the hair loss might be due to postpartum or other underly
