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?

I've been feeling really concerned lately about some joint pain I've been having. I'm 48 years old, and I've started experiencing pain in my knee joints. Along with that, the small joints in my fingers are also hurting and feel pretty stiff in the mornings. I don't have any other health issues right now, but I'm really curious about natural treatments to help manage this pain. Could you give me some advice on what I can do to start addressing this?

I've been taking allopurinol 100 mg for the last 5 years to manage my gout. I'm wondering if it's safe to keep using it long-term because whenever I stop, I experience pain in my big toes. Is this something I should be concerned about?

My mother has had pain in her fingers and wrist for around 23 years. Our GP prescribed her DV60K and calcium, and an X-ray showed some bone erosion in her fingers and hand. She also has pain in one shoulder when lifting her arm. Blood tests didn't show any bone infection, and homeopathy didn't help much. Right now, she's taking Newbona 10 tabs a month and Nucoxia for pain. Surgery isn't an option since the pain is in multiple places, including her legs. She can still manage light hand work what other treatments could we explore?

Apollo Hospital is best for it.
