I'm having this pain in my mid-chest, but it only happens with certain movements. I've talked to a bunch of doctors about it, even had some tests like an ECHO done, but everything seems normal. They mentioned it might be muscular pain or something called costochondritis. How long does something like this usually take to feel better? I'm really scared to even pick up my kid right now. Everyone has just suggested using Volini gel. Do you have any home remedies in mind that might help with this?

My mom has been dealing with a lot of knee pain because the gel between her joints has dried up. She can barely walk a little before needing to sit down, and going upstairs is really tough for her. She's also overweight for her height, and I'm hesitant about knee replacement surgery because the recovery time is so long. What's the best way to manage her condition? Can you suggest a good doctor or clinic in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai for her?

For knee pain due to joint gel loss, weight management, physical therapy, and injections like hyaluronic acid can help. Consult a knee specialist in Mumbai/Navi Mumbai for non-surgical options and second opinions on knee replacement.

I'm really worried about my mom's health. About a month ago, her ESR level was really high, around 120, when we took her to the doctor because she kept having back pain. They also told us she had low hemoglobin, and they gave her some meds to bring the ESR down. I just checked today, and it's now at 20, which seems better, but I'm still concerned. What are the chances she might have something serious like blood cancer or arthritis?
