My grandmother has knee pain with some swelling and was told her synovial membrane is thinning. She's struggling to walk and can't get knee replacement surgery because she's diabetic. She's at a normal weight could you suggest a safe pain reliever with anti-inflammatory effects that works with olmesartan medoxomil?

My mom has been dealing with arthritis for 10 years her left leg posture has changed, and now her right leg hurts too. It got worse when her finger joints started acting up. Homeopathy didn't help, and allopathic painkillers caused digestion issues and loss of appetite. An orthopedic surgeon suggested knee surgery, but Ayurveda fixed her fingers, though her knees stay swollen and painful. I'm not sure if nonsurgical options even work for this kind of arthritis. With Covid around, hospital visits are tough, especially since we're far from cities. I'm looking into video consultations but don't know which specialist would be best could exercise, diet, meds, or injections help, or is surgery the only option?

ortho opinion is advised to the patient at apollo hospital.

I've been dealing with a throat infection for a month now, and I'm quite worried because my ASO titre levels are sitting at 600 UI. Can you help me understand what this means and suggest any treatments?

I am suffering from throat infection to one month.my aso titrelabel is 600ui.pls suggest treatment Based on your symptoms and ASO titre level, it seems like you may have a streptococcal throat infection. I recommend taking a course of antibiotics to treat the infection. You can take Amoxicillin 500mg three times a day for 7-10 days. Additionally, you can also take Ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain and inflammation. Make sure to drink plenty of fluids and get plenty of rest to help your body recover.

I've been experiencing these body aches and mild fever every few weeks, like clockwork, about every 20 days. The aches are really intense, to the point where even my ears and fingers hurt, and I just feel feverish. It's weird because sometimes I think I have a fever, but when I check with a thermometer, it usually reads normal. Even so, I feel this internal feverishness and a general sense of weakness. What could be causing these recurring body pains and this mild feverish feeling? Is there something going on that I should be worried about?

It sounds like you might be experiencing recurrent episodes of a viral infection, inflammatory response, or an underlying autoimmune condition. Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or viral infections can cause body aches and a low-grade fever, even without a measurable temperature increase. Its important to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying causes and get a proper diagnosis.
