Reduce the activity of local joints. Local injection of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is an effective treatment with fewer side effects. You can take some painkillers or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs at the same time.

Answer 9

I have been suffering off and on and more ON now.  Every morning around 4 a.m. I wake up lying down on my left side with prickling, cold sensation in the middle of my chest.  I tried to wear warmer PJ but no help.  It's annoying since the sensation wakes me up and cannot fall asleep.  Once I get up, that sensation disappears.  What could be the problem?  I was diagnosed with Aorta Valve Insufficiency a year ago but this sensation started way before that.

Comments

do you have heart ultrasonic and how is the heart function(left ventriculer ejection fraction). I don't think Aorta Valve Insufficiency would lead to cold sensation. do you have edema in lower limb?
you should check your body temperature ,is it high? would it be a infection?

Answer 10

I am 73 years old. I have controlled hypertension with meds.  Have been experiencing lightheadedness for 5 days. Started having slight chest pains three days ago. I went to Dr. Who sent me to hospital
 Stayed there overnight. CTscan was done, xray of chest, blood draws, all test returned normal. Chest pain is spastic now. Causing me stress. Should I return to hospital ??

Comments

Hi, when you spent the night in hospital, did the doctor tell you that you have coronary heart disease or not? Is there a diagnosis? Did they run the coronary angiography or CTA for you? If there wasn't any test that shows your arteries are fine,  you should go to  ER ASAP.
