I've been hearing these cracking noises from my knees and ankles for a while now, and I was just brushing it off. But lately, I've started noticing the same sounds coming from my chest whenever I stretch, and I'm feeling some pain with it too. It's got me a bit concerned. Could this be something serious? What do you think might be going on?

View allI'm taking folitrax injection 15 mg every week and I'm just wondering, could it cause issues with my digestive system or liver? Also, are there any other noticeable side effects I should be aware of?
Folitrax (methotrexate) can cause digestive issues like nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and stomach ulcers. It may also affect liver function, potentially leading to liver toxicity or elevated liver enzymes. Other side effects could include fatigue, mouth sores, and hair loss. Always monitor with your doctor for any signs of complications.

I'm 20 and dealing with a connective tissue disorder. I'm really worried because I've been seeing rusty-colored blood in the morning and coughing up a little blood. The pulmonologist recommended a chest CT scan, and they mentioned that my DNS is normal and "cancapanca" is normal too. But my aPTT is at 30.0 seconds and prothrombin with INR is at 16.1 seconds, and my INR range is 1.36 seconds. My ANA test came back positive. I'm confused about what all these results mean and what could be causing these symptoms. Could you help explain this?
Probable diagnosis is upper respiratory tract infection.Patient is advised tab augmentin 625mg orally,thrice dailly for 5 days,tab levocetrizine 10 mg for 5 days and syrup salbutoml 10 ml thrice dailly for 5 days.

My mom has been dealing with a lot of knee pain because the gel between her joints has dried up. She can barely walk a little before needing to sit down, and going upstairs is really tough for her. She's also overweight for her height, and I'm hesitant about knee replacement surgery because the recovery time is so long. What's the best way to manage her condition? Can you suggest a good doctor or clinic in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai for her?
For knee pain due to joint gel loss, weight management, physical therapy, and injections like hyaluronic acid can help. Consult a knee specialist in Mumbai/Navi Mumbai for non-surgical options and second opinions on knee replacement.
