Question 1

I'm on medication for irritable bowel with velgutlibrax and rejunex for the last three months, but my doctor has recently cut it down to just librax three times daily. While sometimes I only need to go to the washroom once a day, there are other days when it's 2 to 3 times. My stool is still kinda semi-loose. Is this the right treatment approach for me?

Accepted Answer

there is no cause for concern regarding the risk of Down syndrome or other chromosomal conditions in your baby.
The next step would likely be a routine follow-up ultrasound and continued monitoring throughout your pregnancy.
If you have further concerns or if your doctor feels it necessary, they might recommend more specific tests such as NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) or amniocentesis for more detailed risk assessment, but based on these results, that is generally not required.

Accepted Answer

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.
