I'm experiencing something strange with my fingers, and I'm hoping you could help figure out what's going on. Sometimes in a week, my right hand middle finger shows a range from 93 to 95 or from 98 to 94. But when I check my left middle finger or any other finger, it's always between 97 and 100. This inconsistency has got me really puzzled. Could there be any reason why my right middle finger is showing these changes while the others aren't? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

I'm dealing with this annoying pain in the upper thigh on my left side. It's not super intense, but it's always there and gets on my nerves. There's also some swelling at the top of my thigh compared to the other side, and the pain seems to start there and then moves down to the inner part of my thigh. Ive already done an MRI of my hip and pelvis, and even had my blood tests done everything came back normal except for a vitamin D3 and B12 deficiency. I've been taking vitamin B12 injections and 60k IU of vitamin D3 once a week, but its only been two weeks so far. Im just wondering how long it will take for my vitamin levels to get back to normal. Also, Ive tried physical therapy, but it hasn't really helped with the pain or swelling. Any advice on what I can do next?

Can I just take predmet 8 mg twice a day instead of the 16 mg my doctor prescribed? The 8 mg is the only strength available here. Is it going to be the same?
