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 some trouble lately. Whenever I do physical activity, I end up pulling muscles like my hamstring, and I feel like my joints, bones, and muscles are just weak. Its frustrating because I'm experiencing so much pain all overlike my low back, fingers, elbows, knees, you name it. A couple of months ago, I visited an orthopedic surgeon, and after some tests, it turned out I had high uric acid levels, so they gave me medicine for three weeks. But it didnt really help, and I'm still dealing with these issues. Could you help me figure out what's going on? What should I do next?
In my opinion your uric acid levels have not become normal so you need to continue with the medication for a month and den you need to get it checked once again.. as you are saying that you are getting pain everywhere in the body you must also go for calcium vitamin d and vitamin b 12 levels checked I think that will be deranged as well... so if they are deranged then you need to take medications for that...and stop masturbating on a regular basis... becoz body becomes weak if anybody does it daily...get well soon take care...

I've been using Alzumab biologic for about six months now, and honestly, I'm not seeing much improvement in my condition. I've heard about Scapho by Novartis and wonder if it's more effective? Can you tell me if switching might be worth it, or if there are better options out there?

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.
