My dad's been dealing with this Vitamin D deficiency, and because of it, his knee joints hurt a lot whenever he walks or goes up and down stairs. We tried some treatment before, and it seemed to help, but now the pain is back. Do you know of any effective and safe homeopathic solutions that could help?

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.

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've been dealing with a fever every evening accompanied by chills for over 20 days, but I didn't have any other symptoms. So, I went to see a physician, took antibiotics, and had all kinds of blood tests done, along with a chest X-ray and a CT scan. Everything came back normal except for my ESR, which was elevated. Now, the fever is gone, but the ESR count is still high, and none of the doctors can figure out why. Could you help me understand what's going on?
