View allAfter 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.

I'm a 40-year-old guy dealing with joint pain, stiffness, and it's making it hard for me to get around. The doctor prescribed dart tablets, but they leave me feeling really anxious, agitated, and nauseous. Any ideas on other meds I could try that might not have these side effects?
Seems like you are experiencing side effects from the dart tablet. An alternative medicine you can try for joint pain is Celebrex (Celecoxib) 200mg once daily. It is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that can help relieve pain and inflammation in the joints. Make sure to take it with food to reduce the risk of stomach upset.
