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'm experiencing a strange cold, wet sensation just below my right knee, and I've been having some pain in both knees, especially when climbing stairs. My calf muscles also feel warm. I've had my vitamin D levels checked, an MRI of my back, and some physiotherapy, but everything seems normal. Why am I feeling this sensation in my knee, and which type of doctor should I consult?
You may be experiencing nerve-related symptoms in your knee. The sensation of coldness could be due to nerve irritation or compression. Since your MRI of the back is normal and you have already undergone physiotherapy, it may be helpful to consult with a Neurologist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try taking a medication like Gabapentin to help with nerve-related symptoms and pain. Additionally, you can apply a topical medication like Capsaicin cream to the affected area for pain relief. It's important to follow up with a Neurologist for a comprehensive assessment and tailored treatment plan.

I've noticed something unusual these last couple of months. Whenever I have a drink, even just a little, I end up with pain in both my legs. It's weird because this starts about 23 hours after I drink, usually kicking in right when I'm trying to sleep, and sometimes it even lasts into the next day. Is this something you've heard of before, or should I be concerned enough to see a doctor?
go for doctor
