I've been having this really sharp stabbing pain in my right chest, and it's been going on for a year now. I've had a breast ultrasound, an X-ray, an echo, and an MRI of the ribs, but everything came back normal. What could be causing this pain, and how should I proceed from here? It's starting to worry me.

View allI'm really worried about my uric acid level being at 9.2. Is that really dangerous for my kidneys? I'm hoping to bring it down naturally. Is it possible to do that without medication, or are meds the only way to go?
The swollen vein and persistent pain in your wrist suggest a possible complication from the IV insertion. Consider consulting a vascular surgeon or a phlebologist for proper evaluation and treatment. They may perform imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound) to assess the vein's condition. Possible causes include: Phlebitis (vein inflammation) Thrombophlebitis (blood clot in the vein) Nerve compression or damage Seek medical attention to prevent further complications and alleviate symptoms.

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.

I recently got my blood tests back, and I've noticed that my uric acid levels have been high for the last two cycles. My SGPT is at 55, which Ive heard is elevated. I'm not a frequent drinker, maybe just once every couple of weeks, and there's no family history of this either. What do you think might be going on, and should I be concerned about these results?
To address high uric acid levels and elevated SGPT (55), consider lifestyle modifications: increase water intake (8-10 glassesday), reduce dietary purine intake (organ meats, seafood, sugary drinks), limit fructose consumption, exercise regularly, and maintain a healthy weight; also, consult your doctor to discuss potential medications, such as allopurinol for uric acid, and to investigate the cause of elevated SGPT, which may include further liver function tests or an ultrasound.
