Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query and can understand your concern. Based on the symptoms you described (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity), and since there is no noticeable redness or swelling, this could possibly be related to muscle or fascia strain along the outer thigh, or irritation of the tendons around the outer hip region. These kinds of problems are quite common after prolonged standing, especially during activities such as cooking or household work. For now, a few lifestyle adjustments may help reduce the strain and improve her symptoms gradually: Avoid standing continuously for more than 20 to 30 minutes at a time.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Thank you for acknowledging the struggles of living with the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that you are currently facing. With your elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) and anti-CCP antibodies, it is not your fault to be apprehensive about the severity of the disease. The next possible action, in this case, would be starting DMARDs (disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs) or biologics such as DMARDs for RA management especially when the symptoms are not relieving or even getting worse with low-dose Prednisone.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Non-radiographic spondyloarthritis can be challenging, especially when stress exacerbates the pain.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand your concern. It sounds like you have been managing psoriatic arthritis (PsA) with biologic therapy, but recent X-rays and elevated inflammation markers C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) indicate that your disease may be progressing. This is understandably concerning, especially after years of treatment with the biological Adalimumab (Humira), which has helped reduce pain and inflammation. To help slow joint damage and improve symptom control, your doctor might suggest adding a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD), like Methotrexate (Trexall), alongside Adalimumab.

Hello, Welcome to iCliniq. I understand your concern. The first step is to determine whether your meniscus injury is a partial or full tear. If it is a partial tear, it typically takes around four to eight weeks of complete rest, along with prescribed medications, to aid healing. However, if it is a full tear, it may not heal properly, and you might experience persistent pain and discomfort during certain movements. To confirm the status of your injury, I recommend getting a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan.
