I'm dealing with this annoying pain in the upper thigh on my left side. It's not super intense, but it's always there and gets on my nerves. There's also some swelling at the top of my thigh compared to the other side, and the pain seems to start there and then moves down to the inner part of my thigh. Ive already done an MRI of my hip and pelvis, and even had my blood tests done everything came back normal except for a vitamin D3 and B12 deficiency. I've been taking vitamin B12 injections and 60k IU of vitamin D3 once a week, but its only been two weeks so far. Im just wondering how long it will take for my vitamin levels to get back to normal. Also, Ive tried physical therapy, but it hasn't really helped with the pain or swelling. Any advice on what I can do next?

View allI got chikungunya in early May, and it's been a couple of months, but the pain just wont go away. Its making it really hard to walk or get through my daily routine. All the doctors suggest are painkillers, but I really want something thatll help get rid of this pain for good. What can I do to make this happen? Any advice on other treatments or solutions would be great.
The persistent joint pain and mobility issues you're experiencing after chikungunya are common, affecting up to 60% of patients; consider consulting a rheumatologist for further evaluation and potential treatment options, such as physical therapy, joint injections, or disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), in addition to pain management, to help alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.

I'm waking up every morning with this really bad pain going from my knees all the way down to my feet. I just had a blood test done, and it turns out I don't have diabetes, but my uric acid levels are constantly high. I know this is probably because I have meningomyelocelespinafidida at the last joint of my spine. Can you tell me what might be going on or how to manage it? I'm a bit worried about all this.
Considering your high uric acid levels and meningomyelocele (spina bifida), the severe knee-to-toe pain may be related to gout, nerve compression, or musculoskeletal issues; consult your doctor to discuss pain management option

I'm really worried because my CRP Reactive Protein level has shot up to 29 mgDL. I read on Google that anything over 10 mgDL means a higher risk for heart attacks. Right now, I'm dealing with some unwanted swellings and really bad back pain. How can I bring this level down quickly? Would love some advice on this.
To help reduce your CRP level and manage the symptoms you are experiencing, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for pain and inflammation. It is important to also follow a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and manage stress to further improve your condition.
