I've been having this pain between my shoulder and elbow on my right arm when I wake up in the morning. It's been happening for the past month or two. I usually sleep on my left side, and I've had some fractured vertebrae diagnosed in my mid-upper back along with osteoporosis. Most of the time, the pain lessens after an hour or two, but today it was really bad. Could this be related to my previous back issues or osteoporosis? What should I do about this?

use zerodal mr and If the pain becomes severe or persists for longer periods, or if you begin to notice symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness, or difficulty moving your arm, its important to seek medical attention immediately, as these could be signs of more serious nerve involvement.

View allI've noticed something unusual these last couple of months. Whenever I have a drink, even just a little, I end up with pain in both my legs. It's weird because this starts about 23 hours after I drink, usually kicking in right when I'm trying to sleep, and sometimes it even lasts into the next day. Is this something you've heard of before, or should I be concerned enough to see a doctor?

I'm a bit worried because I had dengue a couple of months back and recovered, but recently I've been experiencing some pain behind my knee, specifically in the popliteal fossa area, especially when I stretch or walk, and my heel is hurting too. My platelet count is at 2 lakh now, which I hope is fine. I'm also losing a lot of hair and have started taking ADHAIR tablets after seeing a dermatologist. Do you think these symptoms could be signs of dengue coming back, or is it something else?
-The pain you're experiencing now doesn't seem like a recurrence of dengue, especially with a normal platelet count. It could be related to other factors like muscle strain or stress on joints, and the hair loss might be due to postpartum or other underly

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.
