Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi , I am having a lot of joint pain. I can hardly close my hands and see that my blood vessels seem larger . my fingers are swollen some, my wrists hurt , my hands also go numb. its hard for me to get up because my joints hurt. I have headaches and am very tired, don't seep well at night. my tonsils are swollen and my sinuses hurt. I had surgery about 4 months ago to open up my sinuses and haven't felt very well since. I'm going through menopause so having hot flashes also. I'm not sure how you feel or what goes on when you go through menopause since I have never went through it before. I believe in the Chiropractor and he has helped me a lot in the past so I'm starting there. I also was taking Fluoxetine for mood, sleep and hot flashes I read that a lot of the side affects were what I was having. I have quit taking them slowly and took the last 1/2 of one 3 days ago. I also have done a lot of physical work and clean houses so a lot of my pain may be from just LIFE. IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS NOW THAT I HAVE WENT ON AND ON I WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU, J
