I understand your concern.

Your reports are normal (the attachments are removed to protect the patient's identities) for most of the values parameter except for the androgen studies report.

What is your primary question?

Is it about discomfort in the knees and elbow joints?

I hope you find it helpful.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

On doing the above tests, you must know the cause of discomfort in the right elbow and knee. Lab tests were negative for rheumatoid, autoimmune disease, and inflammatory marker ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) is normal. It means it is not due to any systemic disease; instead, it is musculoskeletal. As mentioned above, guided physiotherapy is essential to lessen the discomfort.

You must visit an experienced physiotherapist to seek guidance regarding the exercise of these muscle groups and practice those exercises to heal tendinopathy and tendinosis. It is helpful to take a pain reliever (only when there is too much discomfort) but do not rely much on such medicine because on stopping the pain reliever, medicine discomfort relapse again.

I can not guide you with medication regarding androgen deficiency as this is not my specialty to deal with.

You can ask the specialist.

Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

You are welcome. I am sorry that I could not guide you regarding androgen deficiency medication. It would help if you visited an endocrinologist in your area to boost androgen deficiency. You can ask any other health-related query if you have any. You can follow up on this chat in the upcoming days if you need to ask any health-related query.

Thanks.

Hi,

Both values are within the reference range. Hb (hemoglobin) is 147, and serum calcium is 2.39

At this value, I suggest an iron and calcium-rich diet in your daily food.

A few such foods for iron include spinach, non-vegetables, legumes, etc., and for vitamin D, salmon fish, cod liver oil, vitamin D fortified foods, egg yolk, etc.

Since Hb is good, there is no need to take iron tablets at the present moment. Instead, dietary supplements would be enough.

Adequate sun exposure is essential to increase our body's vitamin D levels, as you cannot overdose on vitamin D through sunlight. Remember to cover up or protect your skin if sunlight is for long periods.

Thanks.
