Health Query

I am 37 year old female and diagnosed with ra in november 2021. My anti ccp is greater than 1000 and rheumatoid factor is 257. I have been prescribed methotrexate (15 mg) once a week. I have severe nausea and vomiting and I still have joint pains trauma arising. I was feeling better after 8 doses of methotrexate and had got cavity in january (stopped metoject) until recovery. However after covid all my pains got aggravated, feel severe fatigue and pains. I am on a controlled gluten free diet. I want to ask if the dosage given above recommended foe 6 months is a proper way to start the treatment? Does rheumatoid arthritis increase the risk of diabetes? I already have thyroid. What are the chances of reducing the values after this dose.

I would like to see all the medicines you are taking. Usually, your doctor would have prescribed more than one drug for ra. Crp, ra factor and serum complement levels are a good resource to monitor response to therapy. Continue seeing your rheumatologist till the pain settles completely and your blood reports are normal.

You need to take calcium and vitamins rich diet.
Maintaining proper posture is more important to stop further increase in pain.
Visit nearby physiotherapy clinic and take electrotherapy for 2 weeks.
After a week of physio sessions, you will be suggested with strengthening exercises.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
In most cases, visible veins aren't a cause for concern. Exercise, hot weather, sun exposure, and tight clothing can make your veins more noticeable. Aging, genetics, and being overweight may also increase their definition. Diseases that affect the vein are more serious.

Asked for male, 20 years old from Guwahati

I have red-purple noticeable veins on my upper arm of my left hand. On my right hand upper arm, its beginning to show the veins just like the other hand did in the earlier stage. I'm really concerned about how it looks. Can't wear anything that is sleeveless. I can't figure out what it is. I do have varicose veins on the back of my knees. But I searched on the internet about the arms, I did not get any solutions. I don't know what is the cause for this? Is it because of my sedentary lifestyle? How can I get rid of this because I do have kp and on top of this the veins, it looks really bad.

Once telangiectasia appears on the skin, these tiny lines can range in color from red to blue or purple. The distorted blood vessels generally measure between 1 and 3 millimeters (mm) in width. They are usually harmless but can cause itching and pain.

Orthopedic Doctor•Aligarh

No, this value of creatinine isn't suggestive of any kidney ailment. But I would suggest that as better drugs with lower side effects are available for ra, so you better switch on to them. Book an appointment with me so that I can guide you properly regarding further treatment of ra.
