I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

I completed my medical degree in 2023, but honestly, my journey in healthcare started way before that. Since 2018, I’ve been actively involved in clinical practice—getting hands-on exposure across multiple departments like ENT, pediatrics, dermatology, ophthalmology, medicine, and emergency care. One of the most intense and defining phases of my training was working at a District Government Hospital for a full year during the COVID pandemic. It was chaotic, unpredictable, and exhausting—but it also grounded me in real-world medicine like no textbook ever could. Over time, I’ve worked in both OPD and IPD setups, handling everything from mild viral fevers to more stubborn, long-term conditions. These day-to-day experiences really built my base and taught me how to stay calm when things get hectic—and how to adjust fast when plans don’t go as expected. What I’ve learned most is that care isn't only about writing the right medicine. It’s about being fully there, listening properly, and making sure the person feels seen—not just treated. Alongside clinical work, I’ve also been exposed to preventive health, health education, and community outreach. These areas really matter to me because I believe real impact begins outside the hospital, with awareness and early intervention. My approach is always centered around clarity, empathy, and clinical logic—I like to make sure every patient knows exactly what’s going on and why we’re doing what we’re doing. I’ve always felt a pull towards general medicine and internal care, and honestly, I’m still learning every single day—each patient brings a new lesson. Medicine never really sits still, it keeps shifting, and I try to shift with it. Not just in terms of what I know, but also in how I listen and respond. For me, it’s always been about giving real care. Genuine, respectful, and the kind that actually helps a person heal—inside and out.

Your symptoms of multiple joint pains, abdominal discomfort, and eye pain could potentially point to a few different conditions. One possibility is a type of inflammatory condition or rheumatic disease, such as reactive arthritis, which can cause joint pain and eye involvement. Though fever is a common sign of infection or inflammation, its absence doesn’t entirely rule out these conditions. In your case, an eye symptom such as redness and pain may suggest conjunctivitis, uveitis or episcleritis, which can occur in conjunction with systemic inflammatory issues.

Abdominal pain on the side of the lower abdomen can indicate something like irritable bowel syndrome or another gastrointestinal issue, but it could also be related to a urogenital condition. With the abdomen pain specifically on one side, it’s important to consider the possibility of appendicitis or an ovarian issue, depending on your gender and risk factors.

Since these symptoms can signify a variety of conditions with potentially overlapping characteristics, a detailed clinical examination would be crucial. You will likely need a combination of a physical exam, laboratory tests, and possibly imaging studies to clarify what’s happening. In the short term, managing symptoms with over-the-counter pain relief such as ibuprofen may be helpful, assuming it’s safe for you to take NSAIDs, and resting from any activities that exacerbate your symptoms could be beneficial.

Given the range of symptoms and the possibility of them representing something complex or significant, seeking medical evaluation soon would be wise. A healthcare professional’s guidance will be invaluable for narrowing down the exact cause and addressing any potential issues timely. If any new symptoms develop or current ones worsen – particularly any sharp abdominal pain, vision changes, or new joint swellings – it’s important to seek medical advice more urgently to prevent complications.

I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every time.

Hello,

This combination most commonly suggests an inflammatory or post-infection condition such as reactive arthritis or a viral/inflammatory illness.

The eye pain is important and needs medical evaluation to rule out eye inflammation.

See a doctor urgently (within 24 hours), especially for the eye Rest, stay hydrated Use paracetamol for pain (avoid other painkillers until seen) Do not use eye drops unless prescribed by eye doctor

I trust this helps Thank you

I am someone who got to work in a government setup for 1 full year, and honestly that one year felt more like 3... in a good way. It was a rotational post, which meant I had to shift across wards, ICU, OT, and even casualty — no chance to get too comfortable in one place. Every few weeks brought new responsibilities, new types of patients, and yeah, new kinds of pressure too. In casualty I saw a lot — from road traffic injuries to sudden breathlessness, fevers that wouldn’t come down, old patients just collapsing... and you don’t get time to overthink, you just act. You learn fast where to focus. I also handled geriatric OPD and that was a different kind of challenge. Older patients need more listening, more patience. Most come with multiple issues — joint pain, sugar, BP, digestion, insomnia — and sometimes they just want to talk too. You realize pretty quick that care isn’t only treatment. ICU postings taught me to stay alert all the time. Alarms don’t wait. I had to assist in serious cases, learn to track vitals, respond to sudden dips, push meds under supervision. OT experience was equally hands-on... mostly assisting but you pick up the flow of surgical steps, sterilization rules, emergency prep and post-op care that textbooks just can’t really explain. What I liked most about that whole year was the exposure — I wasn’t limited to one age group or one type of disease. From paediatric fevers to elderly fall injuries, from asthma attacks to appendicitis — saw a bit of everything. And the system might be hectic, but it teaches you how to function under pressure and still think clearly. That year gave me the kind of foundation you can’t just study. It was about real people, real-time decisions, and not just following protocol but also figuring out what works when there’s no perfect setup. Definitely made me sharper, more grounded, and honestly more ready for whatever comes next in clinical life.

I am a 2023 batch passout and working as a general physician right now, based in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan. Still kinda new in the bigger picture maybe, but honestly—every single day in this line teaches you more than textbooks ever could. I’ve had the chance to work under some pretty respected doctors during and after my graduation, not just for the clinical part but also to see how they handle people, real people, in pain, in panic, and sometimes just confused about their own health. General medicine covers a lot, right? Like from the smallest complaints to those random, vague symptoms that no one really understands at first—those are kinda my zone now. I don’t really rush to label things, I try to spend time actually listening. Feels weird to say it but ya, I do take that part seriously. Some patients just need someone to hear the whole story instead of jumping to prescription pads after 30 seconds. Right now, my practice includes everything from managing common infections, blood pressure issues, sugar problems to more layered cases where symptoms overlap and you gotta just... piece things together. It's not glamorous all the time, but it's real. I’ve handled a bunch of seasonal disease waves too, like dengue surges and viral fevers that hit rural belts hard—Hanumangarh doesn’t get much spotlight but there’s plenty happening out here. Also, I do rely on basics—thorough history, solid clinical exam and yeah when needed, investigations. But not over-prescribing things just cz they’re there. One thing I picked up from the senior consultants I worked with—they used to say “don’t chase labs, chase the patient’s story”... stuck with me till now. Anyway, still learning every single day tbh. But I like that. Keeps me grounded and kind of obsessed with trying to get better.

Hello Darlene Thanks for sharing these details. Joint pain in multiple areas (knee, elbow, shoulder, ankle), a red painful eye, and lower abdominal pain—especially all starting together—can point to a few possible causes. Most likely possibilities: - Viral infection: Some viruses can cause joint pain, mild abdominal pain, and eye irritation, even without fever. - Reactive arthritis: Sometimes after a stomach or urinary infection, the immune system reacts and causes joint pain and eye redness. - Allergic reaction or mild inflammation: Less likely, but possible if you’ve had recent exposure to something new.

What you can do now: - Rest and avoid heavy activity. - Apply a cold compress to painful joints. - For the eye, avoid rubbing and use clean water to rinse if it feels irritated. - Drink plenty of fluids.

Rx- Tab Fluvir 75 mg - once a day for 5 days Cap Pantop dsr - once a day for 5 days empty stomach Tab Zerodol sp - once a day for 3 days

Thank you
