I've been using Alzumab biologic for about six months now, and honestly, I'm not seeing much improvement in my condition. I've heard about Scapho by Novartis and wonder if it's more effective? Can you tell me if switching might be worth it, or if there are better options out there?

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?

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.

I've been having severe back pain for a while now lower back, middle, even up to my shoulders. It's been two years since my uterus was removed due to stage 1 cervical cancer, and my follow-up ultrasounds every three months show everything's normal, including my ovaries. The X-rays are clear too, but the pain won't go away. It's really affecting my daily life and mental peace. What could be causing this constant back pain even though all my reports are fine? Any suggestions on how to manage it?
