Hi Doctor, My age is 44 years i have noticed crystals at joints as well at behind of neck, jaw joint, around ears, eye brows and shoulders with stiffness in whole body. I take Febuxastat 40 mg 40 days and get relief as well. while rotate my wrist, neck and shoulders i feel noise like cut cut . Kindly guide for further test or medication

Ans: Crystals deposition happens due to the inability to dissolve and filter them out or excessive solute produced.
For excessive solute. Acidic medium is one of the reason. So reduce animal protein or stop consuming animal protein for two months and see if this makes any difference. For not being dissolved and disposed, increase your hydration.
Avoid RO water and go for mineral water and see if this helps

Relationship
I am 31 years old and have been married for 6 years. My relatives keep pressuring me and scaring me, saying that I haven’t had a child yet and that I should have one now. However, we are not financially prepared at the moment. We have just bought a house, and the loans have recently started, which exhausted all our savings for the down payment. My husband’s family had a very weak financial background. They had nothing, and he struggled a lot, even living in someone else’s house to complete his education. Only he knows how hard it was. Now, his salary has improved, and I am also employed. Additionally, we are entirely responsible for my in-laws, as my husband’s elder brother neither got married nor provides any support for the parents. We are under a lot of pressure right now, but everyone just keeps asking us when we are going to have a child. I’ve seen how my husband struggled with limited finances when the family was financially weak, and I don’t want to show such hardships to our children. On top of that, I am overweight and focused on losing weight to ensure I can be healthy. I feel very stressed and confused, but my husband is fully supportive of me.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
First of all, I am really glad that you are being so responsible and practical, rather than making such life-changing decisions based on emotions alone. Second, don't worry about other's opinions; they might have your best interest at heart, but this should be solely your decision. You should have a child only when you are ready to have one- both mentally, physically, and financially. And no hard and fast rule says you should have a child within a certain year of your marriage. Two people in a marriage is a whole family too; a child can add to the joy if that is what you want. But if not, your family is still complete. Please remember that.

Take care of your health and your mind. If you are worried about your age, you can always go see a doctor and see how many years you can delay this. Rushing is never a good idea.

Best Wishes.
