I'm a bit worried because my mom got prescribed Sompraz 40 for her Rheumatic Arthritis side effects, but the pharmacy gave us Sompraz D 40 instead. Do you think it's okay to use this one or should I try to get it exchanged for the original prescription? Just want to make sure she's taking the right medication.

Sompraz and Sompraz D 40 are related but not identical medications.
Sompraz typically contains Pantoprazole 40 mg, which is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce stomach acid.
Sompraz D 40, on the other hand, is a combination medication containing Pantoprazole 40 mg and Domperidone 30 mg. Domperidone is a prokinetic agent that helps with gastrointestinal motility.
If your mom's doctor prescribed Sompraz, it's likely they intended for her to take only the Pantoprazole. Taking Sompraz D 40 might not be harmful, but it's essential to clarify with her doctor to ensure she receives the intended treatment.

I've been dealing with pain on the entire left side of my body from head to toe for the past 3 years. It starts at my neck, goes through my shoulder, arm, hand joints, lower back, hip, leg, and foot. The worst pain hits my shoulder joint at the back and lower back, but its only on my left side. An orthopaedic suggested I try vitamin D and B12 supplements, which I did, but they didnt help. Some days, the pain is so bad I cant even do any work, and other days its just a bit less. Im really concerned because I havent met anyone with the same issue. Could you tell me what kind of doctor I should see and what this might be? I'm really worried about whats going on.
It sounds like you may be experiencing neuropathic pain or nerve pain. This type of pain can be caused by various conditions affecting the nerves in your body. Since you have already seen an orthopedic doctor and tried Vitamin D and B12 supplements without much relief, I would recommend consulting a Neurologist for further evaluation and management.
