Health Queries

I have pain all over my body and feel stiffness or a freezing sensation in my joints. What could be causing these symptoms, and how can they be treated?

G.santoshini Reddy

Pain all over the body, along with stiffness or a freezing sensation in the joints, can happen due to several reasons, including muscle strain, arthritis, vitamin D or vitamin B12 deficiency, thyroid problems, stress, poor sleep, viral infections, lack of physical activity, or conditions that cause inflammation in the joints and muscles. In some people, stiffness is more noticeable in the morning or after resting for a long time, while others may feel body pain and tiredness throughout the day. If the symptoms are persistent, it is important to identify the underlying cause rather than only treating the pain. Maintaining regular physical activity, gentle stretching, light exercise, proper sleep, hydration, and a healthy diet rich in calcium, protein, and vitamins may help improve joint flexibility and reduce stiffness. Warm compresses or warm baths can also relax stiff muscles and joints. Avoid sitting in one position for long periods and try to maintain good posture during daily activities. Sometimes doctors may advise blood tests to check for vitamin deficiencies, thyroid imbalance, inflammation, or arthritis-related conditions. Mild pain-relief medicines or physiotherapy may be helpful in some cases, depending on the cause. However, if you develop swelling of joints, fever, severe weakness, difficulty walking, numbness, sudden worsening pain, or prolonged morning stiffness, you should consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment. With early diagnosis and proper care, many causes of body pain and joint stiffness can be managed effectively, and quality of life can improve significantly.

I feel a strain-like sensation in a vein or muscle around my left shoulder in certain hand positions. There is no pain during normal activities. Could this be the beginning of frozen shoulder, and what should I do?

G.santoshini Reddy

G.santoshini Reddy

M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

A strain-like feeling around the left shoulder that occurs only in certain hand positions and does not cause pain during normal activities may be due to mild muscle strain, tightness, tendon irritation, poor posture, or early stiffness around the shoulder joint. It may not necessarily be frozen shoulder, especially if you are still able to move the shoulder normally without significant pain or restriction. Frozen shoulder usually develops gradually and is commonly associated with increasing pain and difficulty lifting or rotating the arm over time. Since your symptoms are mild at present, early care may help prevent worsening. Try to avoid sudden jerky movements, heavy lifting, or keeping the shoulder in one position for long periods. Gentle stretching exercises, posture correction, and light shoulder movements can help maintain flexibility and reduce stiffness. Applying a warm compress for 15-20 minutes may also relax the muscles and improve comfort. Regular physical activity and avoiding long hours of mobile or computer use in poor posture can also help. If you have diabetes, shoulder stiffness can occur more commonly and may need extra attention. However, if you start developing pain, difficulty raising the arm, weakness, numbness, swelling, or increasing restriction of movement, you should consult an orthopedic doctor or physiotherapist for proper evaluation and early treatment. With timely care and exercises, many mild shoulder problems improve well without major complications.

I am a 35-year-old woman suffering from migraines for the past year. I take Naprosyn 250 Tablet when they start, but I am concerned about long-term side effects. Could you please advise?

You can continue using Naprosyn 250 mg (Naproxen) as prescribed for occasional migraine relief. However, long-term or frequent use may increase the risk of side effects affecting the stomach, kidneys, or heart. Please talk to your doctor about preventive treatments and lifestyle measures that may help you rely less on painkillers.

I have been experiencing migraines every 2-3 days for the past two years. I take Naprosyn 250 Tablet for relief, but I am looking for a permanent solution. Please advise.

Frequent migraines lasting over two years need evaluation by a doctor or neurologist. Naprosyn 250 mg Tablet (Naproxen) helps relieve pain temporarily but does not prevent future attacks. A doctor can identify triggers, prescribe preventive medications such as beta-blockers or anticonvulsants, and advise lifestyle measures to reduce migraine frequency and achieve long-term relief.

You should follow up with your doctor, as frequent migraines may require preventive treatment. Keeping a headache diary, avoiding triggers, managing stress, and using prescribed medications as advised can help. If the pain is severe or the pattern changes, seek medical attention promptly.
