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 starting on HCQ 200mg every night for my knee joint pain, and I just wanted to know if there are any serious side effects I should be worried about. Can you tell me what to watch out for with this medication?

I've been dealing with a fever every evening accompanied by chills for over 20 days, but I didn't have any other symptoms. So, I went to see a physician, took antibiotics, and had all kinds of blood tests done, along with a chest X-ray and a CT scan. Everything came back normal except for my ESR, which was elevated. Now, the fever is gone, but the ESR count is still high, and none of the doctors can figure out why. Could you help me understand what's going on?

Hey, I've been experiencing joint and muscle pain that seems to move around my body. Every morning I wake up feeling really stiff and achy, but after some light exercise, the pain usually eases off. It gets much worse during the winter months, and honestly, the pain becomes unbearable. I'm pretty sure this all kicked off when I was around 15 years old. Could you suggest what kind of specialist I should consider seeing?

You may benefit from seeing a Rheumatologist. They specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the joints, muscles, and bones. In the meantime, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) as needed for pain relief.
