Question 1

I have been experiencing joint pain in all my joints for the past 18 months. All my blood and urine test results have come back normal. In addition, I have been having abdominal and lower back pain for the last 6 months. What could be the possible cause?

Question 2

I was found HLA B27 positive last week. I have been experiencing back pain for one year and cramps in both legs. My doctor (MD, BAMS) prescribed the following medicines:
Rabewal LSR (rabeprazole sodium 20 mg, levosulpiride 75 mg) BD before meals
Saaz (sulfasalazine USP 500 mg) BD
Gabaxon (methylcobalamin 500 mcg, gabapentin 300 mg) Half tablet BD
Soft P (nimesulide 100 mg, paracetamol 325 mg) BD
Wysolone (prednisolone 5 mg) BD
Lasilactone (furosemide 20 mg, spironolactone 50 mg) Half tablet OD
Is this the correct treatment for my condition?

Question 3

Sir, I had been suffering from joint pains and body swelling. After taking medication, my joint pains have been cured. However, there is still swelling in my hands and foot fingers, along with cough and bitter taste in the mouth. According to my blood report, S. Uric acid is 7.1, Rheumatoid factor is negative, and ASO titer is positive.

I have bone pain, neck pain, body pain, and severe pain with burning sensation in my leg fingers. How can I find out if this is arthritis? Are there any specific tests that can confirm arthritis?

Bone/body pain could signal vitamin deficiency. Arthritis could also be a cause. Tests help find the reason. Early evaluation guides treatment. Do not ignore persistent pain.
