My mom has had arthritis for 15 years and is on medication but hasn't had any surgery. What kind of home exercise equipment would be best for her would an elliptical or treadmill be okay for her condition?

For your mother, who has had arthritis for 15 years but hasn't had surgery, an elliptical trainer would be a better choice than a treadmill for home exercise. Ellipticals offer low-impact, which is gentler on the joints, especially important for people with arthritis

I've been dealing with this chest pain since March last year. Initially, my doctor said it was costochondritis, and all my tests like X-rays and CT scans came back normal. But recently, whenever I do chest exercises or stretching, the pain gets worse. It's really starting to freak me out. Can someone explain why this is happening and when I might start feeling normal again?

Patient is advised tab aceclofenac 100 mg orally ,twice daily for 7 days ,physiotherapy and mild exercises.

I'm feeling really off because my hands are getting unusually warm, but my body temperature seems normal. I've already been tested for typhoid, malaria, dengue, and jaundice, and all the tests came back negative. I'm pretty worried and not quite sure what's going on. Can you offer any insight into what might be happening?

Given the negative test results for typhoid, malaria, dengue, and jaundice, the warm hands and feeling of sickness could be related to other conditions such as anxiety, overactive thyroid, poor circulation, or anemia; consult your doctor about further testing, such as a complete blood count (CBC), thyroid function tests (TFTs), or an electrocardiogram (ECG), to determine the underlying cause.
