I've been struggling with joint pain for the past 10 days and my doctor mentioned it might be due to a calcium deficiency. He suggested taking calcitas powder twice a day. I've been on this for 5 days now, but I still don't feel any relief. Should I keep taking it, or is there something else I should consider?

I've just found out that I've got a positive ASO titre in my test results, and it's freaking me out a bit. I've been dealing with joint pain, and my doctor recommended some tests, including the RA factor and ASO titre, and while the RA came back normal, the ASO titre was positive. I tried reading up on what ASO is online, but I'm still not clear on how and why it happens. Is it something really serious? Like, could it really mess with my joints and heart valves? I'm just really anxious about what all this means for my health. Any insights would be super helpful.

ASO titre comes positive in many cases,one among them is heart disease, don't worry maintain healthy lifestyle, visit your doctor for complete evaluation and appropriate management

I'm dealing with body pain every morning, and it's so hard for my mind to focus all day. I've been relying on Dolo 650 to get through, but now I feel like I can't live without it. I'm worried I'm becoming addicted. Are there other medications or ways to manage this pain and help my mind so I can have a better day-to-day experience without being dependent?

Using Benadon (diphenhydramine) without a medical issue is not recommended. Benadon is an antihistamine, not a heart-strengthening medication. It's essential to consult a doctor before taking any medication, especially if you're concerned about heart health or erectile dysfunction medication side effects.

I'm a 20-year-old girl and I'm really worried because my ESR in blood is 93, and my hb is 10.50. I also found out I have a deficiency in vitamin D. What could be causing my high ESR?

The high ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) in your blood could be due to various reasons, including inflammation, infection, autoimmune diseases, or certain cancers. Given your low hemoglobin level and vitamin D deficiency, it is important to address these issues as well. To help reduce inflammation and lower your ESR, you can take Ibuprofen for a few days. Additionally, you should consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management of your conditions.
