I'm really worried about this weakness and leg pain I've been experiencing. I've been taking Medrol for my swollen lymph nodes in the chest, with doses starting at 12mg, then 8mg, and now 4mg for about a week each. But just a couple of days before I was supposed to finish the 4mg dose, I suddenly started feeling extremely weak and my legs are in so much pain. It's been like this since. Any idea what might be going on?

View allMy mom's been on arthritis medication and we just got her liver function test results back. Her GGT levels are up to 84, and I'm really worried. Is this something dangerous? Can we do something about it? Would love your insight.
Mentioned GGT value shows it's on the higher side. It would be better to take any well know liver supplementation along with it Next Steps Please get an Ultrasound whole abdomen done too

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?
As you say that could be autoimmune,if it is so he has to continue steroids and needs to recive Mab treatment,visit Ophtholmologist for appropriate management

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 38, and for the past two years, she's been dealing with knee joint pains. She's not too keen on going to the hospital, but the pain isn't too severe. Last year, the doctor told her that her knee joint's starting to rub after a scan. He also suggested she try to lose some weight. The pain gets worse when she walks a lot or climbs stairs frequently. I usually apply oil to her legs, and sometimes she wears a knee cap. The pain is more intense in one leg than the other. Can you suggest some ways to help reduce her pain and maybe offer some diet advice?
To alleviate your mom's knee joint pain, suggest she: loses weight (aiming for 55-60 kg) through a balanced diet and exercise like walking, swimming, or yoga; strengthens surrounding muscles through physical therapy or exercises like squats, lunges, and leg press; uses proper footwear, knee caps, and walking aids as needed; applies heat or cold therapy; and considers alternative therapies like acupuncture or massage. Dietary recommendations include: increasing omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish, nuts, and seeds), vitamin D (dairy, sunlight), and calcium (dairy, leafy greens) intake; avoiding processed foods, sugar, and saturated fats; and drinking plenty of water.
