Gout flare up
During Bakrid, I ate meat for several consecutive days and developed knee pain and stiffness. A local doctor suspected gout and prescribed painkillers and joint supplements. My uric acid level test was done and it was 6.8 mg/dL, and had right leg knee xray as well, and the pain resolved after 7 days of treatment. About a month later, I've developed knee pain again for the past two days, making it difficult to walk. After taking painkillers, the pain improved, but I now have mild pain in one of my toe joints. Could this still be gout, and what should I do next?

Pregabalin and duloxetine
Hello, my Age is 60. I was diagnosed with lateral canal stenosis at L4-L5 and was prescribed Neurokem D 75/20 (pregabalin duloxetine). I took my first dose last night.After taking it, I had severe shivering, felt extremely cold, became confused in morning (as noticed by my family), and I'm still very sleepy even now when its 4 pm. I also feel bloated or like I've suddenly gained weight.Should I continue this medicine or stop it? Please guide me on this. I am really confused how to cure my back pain permanently.

Mr Jamir shaikh
Doctor, I have a problem where muscles anywhere in my body can suddenly cramp, pull, or twist on their own. When this happens, I lose control over the affected muscle, and it causes very severe pain. It most commonly affects my stomach, neck, mouth, and lower limbs.
I also experience muscle pulling in my lower limbs. After yawning, my jaw sometimes locks (locking of the temporomandibular joint/TMJ), making it difficult to close or move my mouth normally.
This condition appears to run in my family. My father also has the same problem. I would like to know what could be causing it and whether I need any investigations or treatment.
