I have been suffering from joint pain from past 2 years,the doctor diagnosed me thought of it as Rheumatoid arthritis, however my RA test was negative.
Now the doctor suspects it's gout as I have a swollen toe nd high uric Acid
I wanted to know about gout, nd is there any way to treat it with the tablets or does it need any kind of injections or surgery
It's getting worse every month,want to sort it out ASAP

Central herniation of lumbar disc L5 S1
Following an acute episode of disabling back pain, I was diagnosed with a central disc bulge at L5 S1 level with no significant nerve compression per MRI. It's been 8 weeks and I'm able to walk now, the pain reduced by about 50 percent but spasms don't stop. I'm unable to walk more than 15 minutes or sit for more than 5 minutes due to spasms in lower as well mid back. I'm on dietary supplements and low level painkillers because the pain isn't too much but spasms have made it difficult for me to function normally. I wanted to know if it's normal to have spasms even after 8 weeks or does it mean that the situation is getting worse. I have no other disease. This disc herniation happened after some heavy lifting 8 weeks ago. Now I have no leg pain, only moderate pain in the center of lower back which is bearable after taking diclofenac. But spasms are very painful, though they get little better after lying down but tend to reoccur with activity. Thank you very much for your time & advice

Any rheumatologist? Low iron
Had annual checkup blood work and my iron is low and ferritin is high. I have low iron values last year too and doctor asked me to the iron supplements 3 times a day. I was taking it. But no changes. One thing to mention, I have been dealing with jaw pain under ear and neck pain for 9months now. No proper diagnosis yet. Been to many doctors, dentists etc. I have been taking many medicines for that in the last 9months. Does it make any change in the blood work? What does low iron and high ferritin indicates? I am worried about this. Is this normal or should I ask for more blood test/treatment?
Iron. Dec 2019 - 54. Dec 2020 - 48. Normal 27-159ug/dl . Iron saturation dec 2019 -14. Dec 2020 -12. normal 15-55% . Ferritin dec 2019 -154. Dec 2020 -193. Normal 15-150ng/ml.I was taking antibiotics for a week before this blood test. Does it make any difference.one more value is high this time.
Liver enzyme ALT. It was dec 2019- 21iu/uL. Now- 55.normal 0-32.AST normal.vit D-34. normal(30-100)

Lower Limbs Pain
I had been suffering from pain in my lower limbs . Had consulted a physician who ask me to do Ncv in which mild nerve problem was diagnosed. Took the medicine Gabapentin and Maxgalin. And Uprise D3 6000 along with Neurobion forte as my vitamin D3 and vitamin B12 was low. But as soon às i stopped the medicines the pain recurred. The pain in the lower limbs is severe and feet burning also happens. Restless leg syndrome was the only thing which was cured completely because of these medicines.

Lower backache
Sir/ madam,
2 साल पहले पुलिस ट्रेनिंग टाइम में एक सुबह टेबल फैन को बिस्तर से उठा रहा था तो अचानक से मुझे ऐसा लगा जैसे मेरे hipps के pass नीचे की और हड्डी छुट गई हो! कुछ देर के लिए में उसी पोजीशन में रुका रहा! लेकिन उसके बाद मुझे बहुत दर्द हुआ! अाज तक वो दर्द मुझे है! उठते बैठते प्रॉब्लम रहती है! ज्यादा देर खड़ा नहीं रह पाता और ना ही ज़्यादा देर तक बैठ पाता हूँ! सीढियो पर चढ़ते हुए भी hipps पीछे रख कर chest निकाल कर चलना पड़ता है! झुक कर करने वाले कोई भी काम yoga etc. में प्रॉब्लम होती है!
सीधे सोते हुए chest ऊपर उठ जाती है, कमर केे नीचे भी gap बन जाता है
daily life के सारे काम running jumping सब कर लेता हूँ लेकिन ये तकलीफ बनी रहती है ये एहसास रहता है! मुझे क्या करना चाहिए?इसका क्या solution है?किस डॉक्टर को दिखाना चाहिए?

Cont. Left knee with MCL injury
I was playing cricket and fell awkwardly on my inner portion of the knee and heard a pop sound.
Visited an orthopedic dr yesterday and he has suggested to wait for 7 days and has prescribed me a few pain relief and swelling reducing tablets.
And also suggested me to use a long leg knee brace.
I wanted to enquire if i can skip the knee brace and wear a knee sleeve instead.
Will wearing a knee sleeve worsen the injury?
Thanks
