This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I believe I have leukemia. My bones are sore continually, my legs, and now even my arms. The pain gradually increases along the day, and keeps me up at night (I take Tylenol every night). Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

We welcome you to the icliniq.com family.

I appreciate the confidence you place in me for your healthcare consultation.

According to your statement, you have been suffering from bone pain, especially legs and arms. According to your investigation reports (attachments removed to protect patient identity), urine analysis has shown the presence of Trichomonas vaginalis, and other reports have shown the presence of Klebsiella pneumoniae with blood and leukocytes, and high cholesterol levels.

Trichomonas vaginalis is an STD (sexually transmitted disease)that can cause bone pain, especially leg or arm pain. Again, the presence of Klebsiella pneumoniae also can indicate a bone infection, or septic arthritis, which may result in bone pain. By curing both Trichomonas vaginalis and Klebsiella pneumoniae, your bone pain will be subsided.

Metronidazole (antibiotic) can be used to treat Trichomoniasis vaginalis, and any of the sensitive antibiotics that are listed on your report can cure Klebsiella pneumoniae.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please let me know if you have further queries.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Those infections were cleared up long ago, and I went on to have bacterial strep A, which has since been addressed and healed with antibiotics.

Thank you.

Hi,

Glad to have you back!

I am here to help you get the best medical advice.

These bone pains from various reasons like overuse or repetitive movement of those particular joints, hemoglobin deficiency or anemia, calcium or mineral deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, bone infection, bone injury, any type of bone pathology due to causes like leukemia, arthritis, or bone tumor, thyroid dysfunction, parathyroid hormone deficiency and many more. I suggest some investigations like CBC (complete blood count) with PBS (peripheral blood smear), Bone X-rays including bone scan, CT (computed tomography) or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan, calcium blood test, Vitamin D analysis, thyroid function tests, parathyroid hormone analysis, etc. to find out the exact underlying causes for bone pain, and then treat them accordingly.

In the meantime, you can take Tylenol (Acetaminophen) along with calcium and vitamin D supplements. In addition, have calcium and vitamin D-enriched foods.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please let me know if you have further queries.

Thank you.
