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 really worried about my husband's situation. He's dealing with uveitis, and every time he stops using his corticosteroids, the inflammation flares up again, so he has to go back on the meds. Right now, he's on dexamethasone, and he also has this HLA-B27 issue. Could you help me understand why this keeps happening?

I'm worried about my health and need some advice. My c-reactive protein is at 6.09 mgL, and my lipoprotein a is 37.04 mgdl. Also, I'm dealing with constant neck and shoulder pain because of cervical spondylitis, and I've noticed my sr creatinine levels are high too. Can you help me understand what these numbers mean and what steps I should take next?

Your c reactive protein level of 6.09 mgL indicates inflammation in your body. To reduce inflammation, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg twice a day after meals for pain relief. For your lipoprotein a level of 37.04 mgdl, you can take Atorvastatin 20mg once daily at night to help lower your cholesterol. For your cervical spondylitis and constant neck and shoulder pain, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg three times a day for pain management. Additionally, doing neck exercises and maintaining a good posture can also help alleviate the pain. Since your sr creatinine levels are high, it is important to consult a nephrologist for further evaluation and management. They may recommend medications like Losartan 50mg once daily to help protect your kidneys. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your progress.

I'm having some trouble with my legs. When I sit on the floor with my legs folded, they start hurting, and it's tough to stand up right away. It feels like something we call "timmurlu" in Telugu. After sitting like that, I can't stand for about 5 minutes. What could be causing this, and any ideas for a solution?

That is common for everyone,no need to worry,try not to sit for long duration,change position frequently
