I'm experiencing a strange cold, wet sensation just below my right knee, and I've been having some pain in both knees, especially when climbing stairs. My calf muscles also feel warm. I've had my vitamin D levels checked, an MRI of my back, and some physiotherapy, but everything seems normal. Why am I feeling this sensation in my knee, and which type of doctor should I consult?

You may be experiencing nerve-related symptoms in your knee. The sensation of coldness could be due to nerve irritation or compression. Since your MRI of the back is normal and you have already undergone physiotherapy, it may be helpful to consult with a Neurologist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try taking a medication like Gabapentin to help with nerve-related symptoms and pain. Additionally, you can apply a topical medication like Capsaicin cream to the affected area for pain relief. It's important to follow up with a Neurologist for a comprehensive assessment and tailored treatment plan.

View allI've been having this pain on the right side of my waist, and sometimes it spreads all overfrom left to right and up to down. It's really hard for me to bend forward or backward when it tightens up. I can feel the pain no matter what I'm doing, whether I'm sitting or lying in bed. And it's making it tough to do any kind of hard work. What could be causing this and how can I ease the pain?
You need imaging and scans to determine the cause. It could be muscular pain or spine related abnormality. There are various causes to rule out before making a clear diagnosis.

I've been dealing with this gout issue for the past four days, and I'm not sure which doctor I should see about it. I've already taken 8 pills of goutnil, but I'm still having trouble. Can you recommend what type of doctor I should visit or anything else I might try?
Yes, you can still get the wound dressed. In fact, it's recommended to dress the wound to promote healing, prevent infection, and reduce scarring. *Next Steps* 1. *Visit a doctor or a nurse*: Go back to the same healthcare provider or visit a nearby clinic to get the wound dressed. 2. *Clean and dress the wound*: The healthcare professional will clean the wound, apply an antibiotic ointment, and dress it with a bandage or dressing. 3. *Monitor for infection*: Keep an eye on the wound for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, increased pain, or pus. 4. *Follow-up*: Schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure the wound is healing properly. Remember to keep the wound clean and dry to promote healing. If you notice any unusual symptoms or concerns, don't hesitate to seek medical attention.

I'm 30 and have been dealing with ankylosing spondylitis since June 2020, with a positive HLA-B27 test. I really want to avoid my vertebrae fusing together but don't want to rely on medicines. Can exercises, physiotherapy, or other therapies help prevent fusion? If fusion does happen, can it be reversed with therapy or will I need surgery? I can handle the pain but the idea of my spine or neck fusing scares me. How long does fusion usually take if it happens? Any advice would mean a lot.
A combination of medicines and exercise will be the best way forward. Taken alone neither will help completely.
