I've been having these symptoms for about 7 months now, like this weird internal fever where I feel hot inside, but it doesn't show up on a thermometer. I also get frequent headaches and this annoying pain in my joints, especially in my hands and legs. It's gotten to the point where I'm just not motivated to do anything. What do you think might be going on with me?

View allMy mom has osteoarthritis which runs in our family We saw two doctors with different opinions one suggested medications like Nyros Max and Sazo 500 to manage pain and strengthen cartilage while the other recommended a Synvisc injection for temporary relief and mentioned knee replacement surgery might be needed later I'm confused about which treatment path to follow for her condition
I recommend starting with physiotherapy and painkillers to manage your condition. If there's no significant improvement after a reasonable period, we can then consider surgical options.

Can you explain what the ESR test involves? My mom has diabetes, and I've been told she's having issues with her ESR levels. I'm hoping to understand more about what this means for her health.
The ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) test measures inflammation in the body by assessing how quickly red blood cells settle in a test tube, with high ESR levels indicating chronic inflammation, which can be associated with various conditions, including diabetes, infections, and autoimmune disorders, and as your mother has diabetes, an elevated ESR may indicate underlying inflammation, which can increase the risk of complications

I've been dealing with this chest pain near my breastbone for the past couple of years, and it's been especially bad since 2016. It hurts when I sit, lie down, or stretch, and I can't walk much without discomfort. Sometimes I have trouble breathing and feel fatigued all the time, plus I get headaches and feel nostalgic a lot. I've had an MRI, ECG, and various blood tests, including for Vitamin D, but everything comes back normal. The doctors think it might be costochondritis. Does this make sense given my symptoms, or could it be something else? What can I do to manage this pain better?
It sounds like youre dealing with persistent chest pain that has been diagnosed as **costochondritis**, a condition where the cartilage connecting your ribs to your breastbone becomes inflamed. While your tests are normal, this can still cause significant discomfort. Treatment typically includes anti-inflammatory medications, gentle stretching, and avoiding activities that worsen the pain.
