I've been having this pain between my shoulder and elbow on my right arm when I wake up in the morning. It's been happening for the past month or two. I usually sleep on my left side, and I've had some fractured vertebrae diagnosed in my mid-upper back along with osteoporosis. Most of the time, the pain lessens after an hour or two, but today it was really bad. Could this be related to my previous back issues or osteoporosis? What should I do about this?

use zerodal mr and If the pain becomes severe or persists for longer periods, or if you begin to notice symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness, or difficulty moving your arm, its important to seek medical attention immediately, as these could be signs of more serious nerve involvement.

I'm Meenakshi, I'm 22 and from Chennai. I've been dealing with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) for over two years now. I've been on tablets for more than a year and a half, but it seems like they're not really working for me, and things might be getting worse. I've recently started on injections. Could you guide me to a doctor who has good experience with SLE? I'm really hoping to get some advice on what to do next.

I'm really struggling with some health issues and could use some advice. Every time I get a cold or cough, I end up having trouble breathing, and it also triggers this back pain. Doing everyday things like washing clothes or standing for a while makes my back ache even more. When I have a cough, I can actually hear strange sounds and feel vibrations with my breath, which is worrying. I feel horribly sick, like my whole body is in pain, even when I'm just doing normal activities. Walking to work leaves my legs aching, and if I try something like dancing, my arms hurt like crazy. I'm just wondering what could be going on?

I'm having a lot of pain in my right foot, and it turns out my uric acid level is at 8.6. I'm worried because it seems to be causing the pain. What are some ways I can lower my uric acid levels and manage this discomfort better?

To control uric acid levels and manage the pain in your right foot, you can start by making some lifestyle changes. Avoid foods high in purines such as red meat, organ meats, and certain types of seafood. Drink plenty of water to help flush out uric acid from your body. Additionally, your doctor may prescribe medication such as Allopurinol at a dosage of 100-300mg daily to help lower uric acid levels. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations closely and attend follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.
