I'm taking folitrax injection 15 mg every week and I'm just wondering, could it cause issues with my digestive system or liver? Also, are there any other noticeable side effects I should be aware of?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Folitrax (methotrexate) can cause digestive issues like nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and stomach ulcers. It may also affect liver function, potentially leading to liver toxicity or elevated liver enzymes. Other side effects could include fatigue, mouth sores, and hair loss. Always monitor with your doctor for any signs of complications.

I'm feeling really concerned because I've been having back, shoulder, and neck pain that even radiates to my chest for about a year now. My blood pressure was usually normal, but after doing some heavy stretching exercises yesterday, I suddenly got pain all over my body and my BP went up to 13493. I've seen an orthopedic doctor before who mentioned it might be myofascial pain. Should I be worried about the increase in my BP, or is this typical when you're in pain?
It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially if you are experiencing new symptoms like body aches. A reading of 13493 is slightly elevated and may be related to the recent increase in physical activity. However, it is recommended to keep an eye on your blood pressure and consult a doctor if it remains consistently high. In the meantime, you can try over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for your body aches.

I've been dealing with high uric acid levels and was at around 7.6 a couple of months ago. After starting on zyloric 100 mg tablets daily, it's dropped to 6. But I'm still struggling with a burning sensation in my feet. My uncle, who's a doctor, suggested I try Rejunuron injections, so I took five doses of the 500 mcg injection. Even with that, the burning feeling hasn't gone away. Could you help me understand why this might still be happening and what steps I could take to get rid of this annoying burning in my feet?
That could be Peripheral neuropathy,take vit B12 shot once in a week for 4 weeks and later alternate weeks and also massage your feet by placing them in warm salt water at bed time tjis would help,if its still becoming worse visit Physician for medical treatment
