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 really concerned about how excessive masturbation might affect my bones, joints, and muscles. Could it lead to any serious issues like wearing down my bones or joints? I've been hearing crepitus-like sounds from them and I'm wondering if that's something I should worry about. Can you help me understand its effects?

Excessive masturbation does not directly cause wear and tear on bones, joints, or muscles. However, chronic overuse of certain muscles during masturbation could potentially lead to muscle strain or fatigue. Crepitus, or the crackling or popping sound that can occur in joints, is usually caused by air bubbles in the joint fluid or rough surfaces of the joint moving against each other. If you are experiencing any concerning symptoms related to your bones, joints, or muscles, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.

I got chikungunya in early May, and it's been a couple of months, but the pain just wont go away. Its making it really hard to walk or get through my daily routine. All the doctors suggest are painkillers, but I really want something thatll help get rid of this pain for good. What can I do to make this happen? Any advice on other treatments or solutions would be great.

The persistent joint pain and mobility issues you're experiencing after chikungunya are common, affecting up to 60% of patients; consider consulting a rheumatologist for further evaluation and potential treatment options, such as physical therapy, joint injections, or disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), in addition to pain management, to help alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
