Is there a tablet that can replace the Penidure 12 lakh injections? I've been taking these injections since I was 5 years old, and I'm curious if there's an alternative.

I'm having some trouble with upper back pain near my neck and shoulder, and it's really starting to bug me. Sometimes I even get this mild breathing issue, but its kind of on and off. When I sneeze, there's this weird foul smell thats really bothering me. I've had a spirometry test done and it came out normal, so there's that. I know I'm low on vitamin D, so I'm taking supplements for that. I've also been feeling joint pain in my hands from time to time. Any ideas on how to deal with this upper back pain? And do you think all these symptoms are connected somehow?

I'm a bit concerned about my health. Recently, I noticed my folic acid levels are over 20, and I used to have high HDL but it's under control now. However, I'm experiencing some numbness in my joints. Could there be a connection between these things? Should I be worried?

Large amounts of folic acid can mask the damaging effects of vitamin B12 deficiency . There are indications that high serum folate levels might not only mask vitamin B12 deficiency, but could also exacerbate the anemia and worsen the cognitive symptoms and neurological symptoms associated with vitamin B12 deficiency. Low levels of B12 can cause numbness and tingling sensation, paresthesia(neuropathies). If B12 levels are normal then you need to orthopedician to look for bone disorders.

I've been dealing with some joint and chest pains since I had chikungunya last month. They seem to come and go, sometimes they're really intense and other times not so much. Is this something that will eventually clear up on its own, or should I be doing something to help with the recovery? I'm just a bit worried and would appreciate any advice.
