What Causes Frequent Urination Along With Swelling In Knees And Ankles?

Hi Doctor, Well I m a 21 yr male and I ve been having frequent urination since more than one year now. I ve been to many physicians and some have told me its an urinary infection and others told me its due to stress. I ve taken antibiotics given by the physicians and in the early stage I think the bathroom lessened quite a little but afterwards it became the medications were doing their job cause my urge to go to the same and the antibiotics didn t have any effect. I now have to get to the bathroom every 10 mins. I ve also got some joint problems (since more than one year also). There s some swelling almost everyday on my knees, ankles, shoulders, wrists and forearms. There s not much pain but my joints seem to be a little weak and crack a lot. I ve been to another physician recently and done an X-Ray and some blood tests: Haemoglobin 14.4 g/dl. He does not seem to find anything wrong in me either but I ve been prescribed some other drugs: Respas-10-(Dicyclomine Hydrochloride Tablets) and Ultraflox-500. The only diagnostic I ve been given for my joint problems till now is juvenile arthritis. Are these prescriptions good, will they not affect my joints in any way? And do you seem to find the cause of my conditions?

Hi,

If these lab work already done no need to repeat CBC, ECG, ESR, LFT, RFT, urine culture and sensitivity [will tell exact antibiotic to be taken], ANA or S100A12 are useful in diagnosing [last two for juvenile arthritis]. These tests are helpful in accurate diagnosing and treatment if not done in past.

Stress is main cause and psychological related issues can be overcome by joining online art of living ombw or happyness course sukshm yoga is good for joint pains and breathing [rhythmic will help to overcome stress] have seen total remission in patients with similar history when they combine this with medicine. Post infection can also produce similar things physiotherapist can also help. Diet should include lots of fruits, vegetables, salads] drink 7-8 glasses water. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, smoking, non-veg, canned foods, jaggery is good than white sugar.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
