Suggest Remedy For Joints Pain After Hip Replacement Surgery
I developed some strange symptoms late this afternoon after walking 18 holes of golf. not sure what it might be. I became very fatigued (but have a reason to be tired ), joints started aching, lost my appetite, has heartburn, starting shaking / have chills. I went to bed and took 2 advice and the shaking stopped. I was just in the ER 6 days ago for a severe Vasovagal reaction that dropped my heart rate from a normal mid to high 50 s to low 40 s and almost passed out. My blood work was normal, my EchoCardiogram didn t show anything unusual. I travelled out of the county to Toronto yesterday. I had a hip replacement 5 1/2 months ago with no complications.

Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!
Thanks for consulting me at virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
You did dot give any history, why hip replacement was done? The cause of the disease( diagnosis)?
Its usually the autoimmune destruction of the joints that cause joint pains in such cases.
Anyways if I was your treating physician I would like to prescribe you only Tylenol for pain. Its because you need to save your stomach too. Chronic pains ( and it may go chronic too) needs pain medications usually in the long run, so I prefer mild pain killers. Plus I would like you to apply Bengay ultra stretch on painful joints. And a followup visit after 2 weeks should have made me in a better position to carry on with treatment accordingly.
If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile. You can also attach Lab reports and pictures with direct question.
