I'm a bit worried because I had dengue a couple of months back and recovered, but recently I've been experiencing some pain behind my knee, specifically in the popliteal fossa area, especially when I stretch or walk, and my heel is hurting too. My platelet count is at 2 lakh now, which I hope is fine. I'm also losing a lot of hair and have started taking ADHAIR tablets after seeing a dermatologist. Do you think these symptoms could be signs of dengue coming back, or is it something else?

Ive been having pain in my knees and the lower part of my feet, and it seems to happen mostly after sex, but at other times, Im okay.

This could be due to general myalgia from muscle strain. You can opt for physiotherapy exercises for stretching the calf and thigh muscles. Cold compress and muscle relaxants can help alleviate the pain.

I'm dealing with this consistent pain running from the back of my left shoulder to my hand, and it's been like this for a month now. I started with severe pain and had to take an injection from an orthopedic doctor. I also went through physiotherapy with heat and IFT for a week. The physiotherapist mentioned I have a muscle spasm, but my orthopedic doctor thinks it might be Fibromygenia. I'm doing exercises every day, but the pain in my left hand gets worse as the day goes on. What do you think is going on? Any advice would be really helpful.

- It sounds like you're dealing with a complex issue involving muscle spasms or possibly fibromyalgia, both of which can cause chronic pain. It's great that you're doing exercises, but persistent pain could be a sign that your body needs more time or a di
