I've been taking Tab Ezact 120mg once daily for severe knee pain, and my x-ray shows I might need a total knee replacement. For now, can I take two doses a day instead of one to manage the pain better? I'm worried about whether it's safe or if it could cause any issues

Avoid increasing Ezact dosage without supervision. Long-term use may affect kidneys or cause gastritis. Consult your doctor for safe alternatives.

View allI've been dealing with this chest pain near my breastbone for the past couple of years, and it's been especially bad since 2016. It hurts when I sit, lie down, or stretch, and I can't walk much without discomfort. Sometimes I have trouble breathing and feel fatigued all the time, plus I get headaches and feel nostalgic a lot. I've had an MRI, ECG, and various blood tests, including for Vitamin D, but everything comes back normal. The doctors think it might be costochondritis. Does this make sense given my symptoms, or could it be something else? What can I do to manage this pain better?
It sounds like youre dealing with persistent chest pain that has been diagnosed as **costochondritis**, a condition where the cartilage connecting your ribs to your breastbone becomes inflamed. While your tests are normal, this can still cause significant discomfort. Treatment typically includes anti-inflammatory medications, gentle stretching, and avoiding activities that worsen the pain.

Am I experiencing this severe knee and ankle joint pain because of the ATT? It's only been two months since I started, and I'm also dealing with pyrazinamide-resistant TB. I stopped taking it after two months. Is it okay to take a painkiller at night?
Take pyridoxine everyday with ATT tablets , Don't stop

I'm having this pain on the right side of my sternum and the MRI mentioned something about subchondral cystic changes. It really bothers me because the pain gets better when I lie on my back, but it comes back as soon as I start moving around or even when I'm just walking. What could be causing this and is there something I should be doing to help with the pain?
take tablet zerodol twie a day for 3 days
