Question 1

I'm dealing with body pain every morning, and it's so hard for my mind to focus all day. I've been relying on Dolo 650 to get through, but now I feel like I can't live without it. I'm worried I'm becoming addicted. Are there other medications or ways to manage this pain and help my mind so I can have a better day-to-day experience without being dependent?

Accepted Answer

Using Benadon (diphenhydramine) without a medical issue is not recommended. Benadon is an antihistamine, not a heart-strengthening medication. It's essential to consult a doctor before taking any medication, especially if you're concerned about heart health or erectile dysfunction medication side effects.

Question 2

I'm having some pretty intense pain in the lower side tips of my toe joints, and it's really strange because there's no swelling at all. It seems to flare up every time I start walking after resting, especially first thing in the morning. What could be causing this? Do you have any insights or suggestions on what I should do?

Accepted Answer

This type of pain in the feet fingers and joints, especially when starting to walk after rest, could be due to a condition called plantar fasciitis. To help relieve the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) or naproxen (e.g., Aleve) to reduce inflammation and pain. Additionally, you can also try stretching exercises for the feet and calves, wearing supportive shoes with cushioned insoles, and using orthotic inserts to provide better arch support. If the pain persists, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

My X-ray report says there are osteophytes on both knee joints with reduced joint spaces and mentions osteoarthritis but no loose bodies. What does this actually mean for my knees? What kind of treatment would help and is surgery usually needed for this condition?

Accepted Answer

please share the report.

I've been experiencing this itching on my knee caps, and there's a burning sensation in both my knees that seems to be happening symmetrically. It's starting to worry me a bit. Any idea what might be causing this?

That's unusual and needs physical examination, visit Dermatologist for the same and appropriate management
