What Causes Mild Nausea In A Patient With Severe Arthritis In Back?

Yes, both are related to pain
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Yes, pain is a negating factor which can cause loss of appetite. Pain is a stressful phase.
2. The appetite is lost due to lesser stimulus of hunger and more stimulus of pain dominant.This has led to loss of appetite.
3. Nausea is secondary to pain secondary to pain stress induced gastritis. Also ibuprofen can induce gastritis. Both together can also induce nausea.
4. Good pain control will reduce both nausea and appetite loss.
Painkillers post-food, and reduced spicy diet will reduce gastritis.
Also back strengthening, stretching and avoiding picking up heavy weights will reduce pain.
Hope it helps.

Diabetes mellitus or insipidus
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking again.
Frequent urination could be a sign of diabetes mellitus or diabetes insipidus. If she is not taking plenty of water and there is no urinary tract infection, then blood sugar is essential. It might be already evaluated, if not done it is necessary.
It can be associated with trembling occasionally, particularly during low sugar episodes.
Specific gravity of urine can help in evaluation of diabetes insipidus. Its usually low. No trembling is usually seen in this condition.
If pain is present, painkillers are necessary. Comfort is very important. Do get the MRI done for further evaluation.
Hope it helps.
