I've been dealing with this pain in my left shoulder for the last few days. It's really uncomfortable and even spreads to my upper chest when I breathe. On top of that, I'm noticing pain in my joints, mostly in my wrists and fingers. It's pretty worrisome, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can you give me some advice on what this might be?

View allI'm experiencing a strange cold, wet sensation just below my right knee, and I've been having some pain in both knees, especially when climbing stairs. My calf muscles also feel warm. I've had my vitamin D levels checked, an MRI of my back, and some physiotherapy, but everything seems normal. Why am I feeling this sensation in my knee, and which type of doctor should I consult?
You may be experiencing nerve-related symptoms in your knee. The sensation of coldness could be due to nerve irritation or compression. Since your MRI of the back is normal and you have already undergone physiotherapy, it may be helpful to consult with a Neurologist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try taking a medication like Gabapentin to help with nerve-related symptoms and pain. Additionally, you can apply a topical medication like Capsaicin cream to the affected area for pain relief. It's important to follow up with a Neurologist for a comprehensive assessment and tailored treatment plan.

I'm really concerned because my ESR is at 80mm after the first hour, as per the report, and for the last two months, I've been dealing with frequent fevers. I had viral fever, then got typhoid twice, and recently another fever hit me. My doctor suggested some tests, and most came back fine, except for an abdominal scan that showed my liver has increased in size and my ESR is high. Could you help me understand what's going on?
Recurring swollen lymph nodes can be frustrating. _Possible causes:_ 1. _Recurring infections_: Frequent colds or sinus infections might cause the lymph node to swell. 2. _Dental issues_: Tooth abscesses, gum disease, or other dental problems can cause lymph node swelling. 3. _Allergies or sensitivities_: Seasonal allergies or sensitivities to certain foods or substances might contribute to the swelling. _Consider the following:_ 1. _Dental checkup_: Schedule a dental appointment to rule out any underlying dental issues. 2. _Allergy testing_: If you suspect allergies, consider consulting an allergist for testing. 3. _Imaging tests_: Your doctor might recommend imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound or CT scan) to evaluate the lymph node. 4. _Monitor and track_: Keep a record of when the swelling occurs, any potential triggers, and how long it lasts.
