Suggest Treatment For Intermittent Nausea, Fatigue, Headache And Knee Pain

default
Posted on Tue, 18 Aug 2015
Question: or 6 month I have had intermittant nausea, fatigue, headache, and recently knee pain (both) knees. I have been diagnosed with cysts in my kidneys and liver. My doctor is having me get a sonogram of my gall bladder and liver. I keep think that this feels like the flu and was hoping to get an antiviral. Or maybe an autoimmune disease. Now I fear maybe I have cancer. I am at a loss.

Brief Answer:
may not be cancer

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concerns.

This may not be cancer. I mean that there is nothing in the history to suggest that there is a high possibility of cancer.

This can be viral illness as well but not necessarily antiviral is required. We also need to check for metabolic disorders like diabetes, anemia, etc.

The sonogram will probably act more as a reassurance that there is nothing sinister going on.

Hope this helps. I will be available for follow-up.
Regards
