I had jaundice two years ago. Since then, I have been experiencing joint pain. Could this be related to my past illness, and what should I do for relief?
Yes, your joint pain could be related to your past jaundice, especially if it was caused by a viral infection like hepatitis, which may sometimes lead to long-term joint inflammation. However, joint pain may also be caused by other conditions such as arthritis, vitamin deficiencies, or autoimmune diseases. Please consult your doctor for a proper evaluation and blood tests to find the exact cause. For relief, gentle exercise, a balanced diet, adequate rest, and simple pain relievers like paracetamol may help if advised by your doctor.
