MD I am 55, slim built, no disease. For a month, I have stated having pain in my knees. it started with left knee and soon having constant pain in both knees. Sometimes I feel pain in different parts, from thigh to calf mussles and I feel a strong urge as to tie some rope at different places for 1 or 2 minute as it gives me temporary relief. While waking up in the morning, I feel low back pain. No arthritis history in our family. I had been an airlines officer with a quite hectic life. After taking voluntary retirement, I am confined to home, though regularly taking 2-3 kms walk daily. I am taking calcium tablets, voveran 50 mg on my own and applying local pain relieving creams. My urine test is normal. Should I go for blood uric acid or any other test. Kindly prescrible some remedy.
MD Hello my niece is having a lot of trouble at the moment. Last year she had a operation on her back called Spinal Fusion and once that healed she was pain free and medication free. About 2 weeks ago she began showing these symptoms: Severe lower back pain Loss of feeling and sensation in right leg - unable to weight bare on it at all. She says that her leg feels heavy. Pain up her spine which feels like it s a stinging sensation to touch. In the last week, obviously due to all of the pain she is really fatigued and decreased appetite. Her current medications are Oxycodone (Endone), Panadol, Brufen and last night commenced on Valium. They have done xrays of her back, cts and mri of back, and mri of her brain, and lumbar puncture, and copious amounts of blood tests. I realise that you wont know the results of those tests, but they are still saying that they have no idea what is going on. Please can you help. Adele
