I've been dealing with severe knee pain for years and it's really affecting my daily life. My knee feels weak and sometimes the pain is unbearable. I've also noticed swelling around my ankle at times. Are there any effective remedies for knee pain that don't involve surgery? Can medications help or are there other treatments available? I'm planning to travel in November-December but worried about managing this pain. What options do I have?

View allI've been struggling with joint pain for the past 10 days and my doctor mentioned it might be due to a calcium deficiency. He suggested taking calcitas powder twice a day. I've been on this for 5 days now, but I still don't feel any relief. Should I keep taking it, or is there something else I should consider?
you can not expect result in 5 days needs prolong tretament takes usually 3 months to see the results follow your doctors advice and also consume calcium rich foods for better results

I'm a bit concerned because my ESR is 50 mmhr. Can you help me understand what that might indicate? I'm planning to see my doctor later today, but I'd love to get some insight in the meantime.
An ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) of 50 mmhr indicates an elevated level, which can be a non-specific marker of inflammation in the body. It is often used as a screening test to help diagnose conditions associated with acute and chronic inflammation, such as infections, autoimmune diseases, and certain types of cancer. However, it is important to note that an elevated ESR alone is not diagnostic of any specific condition and further evaluation is usually needed. Since you are already planning to see your doctor in the evening, it would be best to discuss your ESR results with them. They will be able to interpret the result in the context of your overall health, medical history, and any other symptoms you may be experiencing.

I've been dealing with some joint and chest pains since I had chikungunya last month. They seem to come and go, sometimes they're really intense and other times not so much. Is this something that will eventually clear up on its own, or should I be doing something to help with the recovery? I'm just a bit worried and would appreciate any advice.
it will reduce
