I've been dealing with this gout issue for the past four days, and I'm not sure which doctor I should see about it. I've already taken 8 pills of goutnil, but I'm still having trouble. Can you recommend what type of doctor I should visit or anything else I might try?

Yes, you can still get the wound dressed. In fact, it's recommended to dress the wound to promote healing, prevent infection, and reduce scarring. Next Steps 1. Visit a doctor or a nurse: Go back to the same healthcare provider or visit a nearby clinic to get the wound dressed. 2. Clean and dress the wound: The healthcare professional will clean the wound, apply an antibiotic ointment, and dress it with a bandage or dressing. 3. Monitor for infection: Keep an eye on the wound for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, increased pain, or pus. 4. Follow-up: Schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure the wound is healing properly. Remember to keep the wound clean and dry to promote healing. If you notice any unusual symptoms or concerns, don't hesitate to seek medical attention.

Question

I've been dealing with this chest pain near my breastbone for the past couple of years, and it's been especially bad since 2016. It hurts when I sit, lie down, or stretch, and I can't walk much without discomfort. Sometimes I have trouble breathing and feel fatigued all the time, plus I get headaches and feel nostalgic a lot. I've had an MRI, ECG, and various blood tests, including for Vitamin D, but everything comes back normal. The doctors think it might be costochondritis. Does this make sense given my symptoms, or could it be something else? What can I do to manage this pain better?

Question

Question

I've been on medication for the past couple of weeks, but I still have this nagging pain in my chest and the areas around it. They detected BONE TB for me on April 24th. I've been experiencing severe pain in my chest and back, and it's been really hard to move. The doctors suspected Bone TB after running some tests and doing a CT scan. They confirmed it with an FCNA test. I actually had a similar issue back in 1992, and I had surgery for it, but it was resolved and everything was fine after that. I'm just worried about why the pain is still here despite the treatment, and if there's something else I should be doing or considering? Would appreciate any advice.
