I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with some pretty intense joint pain for the past two months. There's no fever, but the pain is tough for her to handle. I heard that Ayurvedic treatments could be effective for Chikungunya. Could you recommend any Ayurvedic medicine that's safe for her to take or other practices that might help? Also, would physiotherapy be a good option for her?

It sounds like your mother is going through a tough time with joint pain. Ayurvedic treatments like Ashwagandha, Turmeric, and joint oils may help manage pain and inflammation, but it's important to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized recommendations. Physiotherapy can also be beneficial in improving joint mobility and reducing pain, so it could be worth exploring alongside other treatments.

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 dealing with pain on the entire left side of my body from head to toe for the past 3 years. It starts at my neck, goes through my shoulder, arm, hand joints, lower back, hip, leg, and foot. The worst pain hits my shoulder joint at the back and lower back, but its only on my left side. An orthopaedic suggested I try vitamin D and B12 supplements, which I did, but they didnt help. Some days, the pain is so bad I cant even do any work, and other days its just a bit less. Im really concerned because I havent met anyone with the same issue. Could you tell me what kind of doctor I should see and what this might be? I'm really worried about whats going on.
It sounds like you may be experiencing neuropathic pain or nerve pain. This type of pain can be caused by various conditions affecting the nerves in your body. Since you have already seen an orthopedic doctor and tried Vitamin D and B12 supplements without much relief, I would recommend consulting a Neurologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about this report I got. It says there's a swelling on the dorsum of my left hand, with lots of polymorphs and macrophages, along with some debris. The report mentions a negative result for acid-fast bacilli, and recommends a PCR test for M. tuberculosis and a culture and sensitivity test. I'm not sure what all of this means or what I should do next. Could you help me understand the situation and what the best steps are to take from here? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it.
yes,visit your foe appropriate management
