I'm really struggling with some health issues and could use some advice. Every time I get a cold or cough, I end up having trouble breathing, and it also triggers this back pain. Doing everyday things like washing clothes or standing for a while makes my back ache even more. When I have a cough, I can actually hear strange sounds and feel vibrations with my breath, which is worrying. I feel horribly sick, like my whole body is in pain, even when I'm just doing normal activities. Walking to work leaves my legs aching, and if I try something like dancing, my arms hurt like crazy. I'm just wondering what could be going on?

I'm a bit concerned about my health. Recently, I noticed my folic acid levels are over 20, and I used to have high HDL but it's under control now. However, I'm experiencing some numbness in my joints. Could there be a connection between these things? Should I be worried?
Large amounts of folic acid can mask the damaging effects of vitamin B12 deficiency . There are indications that high serum folate levels might not only mask vitamin B12 deficiency, but could also exacerbate the anemia and worsen the cognitive symptoms and neurological symptoms associated with vitamin B12 deficiency. Low levels of B12 can cause numbness and tingling sensation, paresthesia(neuropathies). If B12 levels are normal then you need to orthopedician to look for bone disorders.

After breast abscess surgery, I noticed a reddish lump under the skin of my right leg below the knee, followed by swelling and ankle pain. The doctor diagnosed it as erythema nodosum and prescribed Predmet 8 twice daily for 3 days, which helped at first swelling and pain went away. But then it came back, so the doctor reduced the dose to Predmet 4 twice daily for 2 days. Now the swelling and pain are worse again. What could be going on and what should I do next?
Erythema nodosum, diagnosed after breast abscess surgery, presents as painful, reddish or purple bumps under the skin, often on the shins, but can appear elsewhere, including the legs. The condition is usually a reaction to an infection or medication and can cause swelling and ankle pain, as experienced. While often resolving on its own within weeks, it's crucial to address any underlying conditions causing the erythema nodosum, as it can be a sign of other health issues.
