Joint & Chest pain

[Ramu007]

I'm 52 year old male, suffering from joint pains(shoulder, neck, fingers, rib pain(increases while breathing)). Following are the abnormal test results after consulting doctor

WBC count: 14800 cells/microliter
Neutrophils: 76%

My doctor asked me to use pain killer medicines. I'm curious to know what could be the reason for this.

Thank you.

Hello,

If possible, ask the doctor for a test to rule out Fibromyalgia, you can have all kinds of pain with it, and it can mimic arthritis as well.

Hope you feel better soon.

If you have arthritis avoid liver and beans. Also processed food in cans such as sardines, corned beef, spam and other food rich in uric acid.
