I've been having this swelling in my rib bone under my breast, and it's really huge. Plus there's one in my left shoulder and a lighter one on the right side. It really hurts when I touch it and it gets worse when I cough or sneeze. What could this be? Should I be worried?

I also get frequent headaches and this annoying pain in my joints, especially in my hands and legs. It's gotten to the point where I'm just not motivated to do anything. What do you think might be going on with me?

I'm taking HCQS tablets in the morning and at night for synovitis treatment, but I recently noticed during a routine blood test that my iron levels are low. Is there a particular iron supplement I can take alongside HCQS without worrying about any interactions?

You can consider taking ferrous sulfate or ferrous fumarate iron supplements, which are generally well-tolerated and less likely to interact with HCQS
