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?

My mom is 55 and has severe rheumatoid arthritis she's already had knee and hip replacements, and now her shoulder and neck joints are wearing out. Her doctor recommended Humira, but I'm wondering how effective it would be for such an advanced case. Will it give her long-term relief, or are there other treatment options we should consider?
For your mother's advanced rheumatoid arthritis, Humira (a biologic DMARD) can be effective in slowing disease progression and providing pain relief, but it's not a cure. Other treatment options, including other DMARDs and lifestyle adjustments, should also be considered

I'm feeling really concerned because I've been having back, shoulder, and neck pain that even radiates to my chest for about a year now. My blood pressure was usually normal, but after doing some heavy stretching exercises yesterday, I suddenly got pain all over my body and my BP went up to 13493. I've seen an orthopedic doctor before who mentioned it might be myofascial pain. Should I be worried about the increase in my BP, or is this typical when you're in pain?
It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially if you are experiencing new symptoms like body aches. A reading of 13493 is slightly elevated and may be related to the recent increase in physical activity. However, it is recommended to keep an eye on your blood pressure and consult a doctor if it remains consistently high. In the meantime, you can try over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for your body aches.
