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?

View allI've been taking Tab Ezact 120mg once daily for severe knee pain, and my x-ray shows I might need a total knee replacement. For now, can I take two doses a day instead of one to manage the pain better? I'm worried about whether it's safe or if it could cause any issues
Avoid increasing Ezact dosage without supervision. Long-term use may affect kidneys or cause gastritis. Consult your doctor for safe alternatives.

I've been experiencing these body aches and mild fever every few weeks, like clockwork, about every 20 days. The aches are really intense, to the point where even my ears and fingers hurt, and I just feel feverish. It's weird because sometimes I think I have a fever, but when I check with a thermometer, it usually reads normal. Even so, I feel this internal feverishness and a general sense of weakness. What could be causing these recurring body pains and this mild feverish feeling? Is there something going on that I should be worried about?
It sounds like you might be experiencing recurrent episodes of a viral infection, inflammatory response, or an underlying autoimmune condition. Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or viral infections can cause body aches and a low-grade fever, even without a measurable temperature increase. Its important to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying causes and get a proper diagnosis.

I've been having really bad head pain for the last 2 weeks. I got a blood test done, and it shows my ESR level is 72.1. I've attached the blood report here. Can you help me understand why it's so high? What could be the issue here, and which doctor should I talk to for this?
A high ESR level can indicate inflammation in the body, which could be due to various reasons such as infection, autoimmune diseases, or certain types of cancer. In your case, the high ESR level may be related to the underlying cause of your severe head pain. To address this issue, you can consult a Neurologist for further evaluation and management of your head pain. In the meantime, you can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. However, it is important to follow up with a Neurologist for a comprehensive assessment and appropriate treatment plan.
