I have spondylosis and total body joint pain, including left leg muscle pain, hands, legs, feet, hips, ribs, and overall bone pain. One month ago I had dengue fever. Are these symptoms related to dengue? My fever is completely gone and my platelets and blood report are now normal. Please suggest which doctor I should consult now a spine surgeon or another specialist?

Post viral body pain is common after dengue, but if pain is widespread and persistent: Consult a rheumatologist to rule out viral arthritis or inflammatory issues. Avoid overexertion and drink fluids. A follow up CBC and CRP may help evaluate lingering inflammation.

Question

I am experiencing pain in my left hand, wrist, and fingers, with difficulty moving my fingers. There is slight pain in my right hand and in the middle three toes of my left foot, along with left knee pain that causes a grinding sound during movement and difficulty climbing stairs. I also feel a burning sensation in my feet and neck pain when turning left or right. My blood tests for rheumatoid arthritis and gout came back negative. I do not drink alcohol or smoke, and I am slightly overweight. Despite this, some doctors are suggesting it might be rheumatoid arthritis, but I am confused given my test results. I would like guidance on what could be causing these symptoms and what steps I should take next.

Dear Doctor, A patient aged 70 has been experiencing continuous pain and swelling in the upper right foot and toes for the past month. There is no history of diabetes or high blood pressure. Recent investigations show: Blood report: normal, X-ray: normal, Vitamin D: normal, Uric acid: normal and NCV (both lower limbs): normal. The pain temporarily subsides with painkillers but returns after a few hours. Could you please advise what further tests or evaluations are recommended and how we can diagnose the cause? Thank you.
