Hey, what I’d like to check is what the implications are that I seem to have symptoms developing after having the first vaccine. The bite mark has swelled and is itchy/prickly. The muscles in the affected leg feel tired and heavy. Might be totally unrelated but I woke up today with the hamstring in the other leg feeling pulled, I don’t think I was doing anything that would pull it. Facts are - I was lightly bitten by a wild dog on the evening of the 15th. By noon of the 16th I had the vaccine (Rabivax-S). Since then the symptoms above have appeared around the bite mark.

Female | 25

Swelling and itching near the bite, tired legs, and muscle heaviness are likely due to the dog bite and the vaccine. Your body might be overreacting to the vaccine. The hamstring pain in the other leg may not be related to the bite or vaccine. Use cold compresses and OTC antihistamines for itching and pain. Rest your legs and avoid physical activity to ease fatigue. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor. Ensure rabies prevention by following your doctor’s advice.

My mother is 48 years old shes suffering from arthritis from 12 years please help me She sometimes complain that her arm and nerves inside her stomach paining and she also complain that nerves inside her stomach getting to blossom

Female | 48

Your mother appears to be suffering from arthritis for a long time. The pain in her arm may be caused by joint inflammation which indicates that it’s a nerve problem if she experiences discomfort in the stomach too. When people have arthritis, sometimes they undergo a situation where nerves get affected hence feeling pain in different body parts apart from those with affected joints. To minimize the pain she is going through she should do gentle exercises, use warm towels if possible, and get drugs prescribed by a physician.

Enlargement of heels bone as per previous dr your suggestion

Acupuncture offers relief from chronic heel spurs and has proven record in treating calcaneal spur.
Extra bone tissue known as heel spurs which develop due to over stress of the foot can cause pain in back of heel. Electro Acupuncture points, Moxibustion, Acupressure and seed therapy have shown great relief in heel pain and inflammation. Also correction in the enlargement of heel bone is observed as the acupuncture treatment is taken on regular basis. I.e. 2-3 sessions weekly continued for a period of 1-2 months."
