My mom has had really bad knee pain for the past 5 years and it's getting worse are there any treatments or options besides surgery that could help relieve her pain?

I'm really concerned about this persistent neck pain I've had for the past three days. It's spread to my shoulders and sometimes even to my head, which really bothers me. I saw my primary physician, and I'm on some medication now. But this morning, I noticed my shoulders seemed a bit swollen, and there's this strange, hard muscle on the left side of my neck, right below my ear. It's not a visible lump, doesn't move, and isn't painful, but it's strange. Could it be a muscle issue? Oh, and I've had a common cold and a bit of cough at night, but no vomiting or fever. What do you think is going on?

it can swollen lymph nodes can be due to common cold

I'm dealing with this recurring issue where my uric acid levels get high. I've been diagnosed with gout arthritis in the past, and I've been taking Febustat 40 daily whenever I notice any pain or swelling. I've tried taking it twice a day, which seems to help, but if I stop for a while, the pain comes back. It used to only affect my right knee, but now it's happening in my left knee too. What should I do about this? Is there a better way to manage it?
