I've been on medication for the past couple of weeks, but I still have this nagging pain in my chest and the areas around it. They detected BONE TB for me on April 24th. I've been experiencing severe pain in my chest and back, and it's been really hard to move. The doctors suspected Bone TB after running some tests and doing a CT scan. They confirmed it with an FCNA test. I actually had a similar issue back in 1992, and I had surgery for it, but it was resolved and everything was fine after that. I'm just worried about why the pain is still here despite the treatment, and if there's something else I should be doing or considering? Would appreciate any advice.

Despite 15 days of medication, persistent chest and surrounding area pain, along with a confirmed diagnosis of bone TB through CT scan and FCNA test, warrants a review of your treatment plan

View allI'm experiencing a gout attack right now and I've heard that taking zyloric could actually make it worse. Is that true? Should I avoid it or is it safe to continue using it during an attack? I'm a bit worried about making things worse. Can you help?

I'm a bit concerned about my health. Recently, I noticed my folic acid levels are over 20, and I used to have high HDL but it's under control now. However, I'm experiencing some numbness in my joints. Could there be a connection between these things? Should I be worried?
Large amounts of folic acid can mask the damaging effects of vitamin B12 deficiency . There are indications that high serum folate levels might not only mask vitamin B12 deficiency, but could also exacerbate the anemia and worsen the cognitive symptoms and neurological symptoms associated with vitamin B12 deficiency. Low levels of B12 can cause numbness and tingling sensation, paresthesia(neuropathies). If B12 levels are normal then you need to orthopedician to look for bone disorders.
