What Causes Pain In Knee And Abdomen Along With Shortness Of Breath?

I have been experiencing a number of debilitating symptoms these past 2-3 months: joint pain, particularly in the knees and sometimes severe; pain/discomfort in right side of the abdomen presumably near the liver; and occasional shortness of breath. I don t know if these symptoms are linked. I was worried I had Hep C, but I took 2 tests over a 3 month period with negative results. What might be ailing me?

Hi,

The clinical features from which you are suffering now may result some pathological conditions such as Eosinophilia-Myalgia syndrome, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, arthritis, fasciitis, churg -strauss syndrome and other autoimmune or neuro-muscular disorders with similar symptoms.

Treatment depends on causes. U should undergo some investigations like CBC with circulating eosinophil count, CRP, RA test, ANA, anti ds-DNA test, S. Aldolase, USG of W/A, S. IgE, liver function test, CXR P/A view etc., to detect the exact culprit for your present sufferings and then treat them accordingly. In the meantime, you can take painkillers, muscle relaxant, cortico-steroids to subside your present sufferings.

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

Regards,
Dr. Zubayer Alam, General & Family Physician
