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 joint cracking sounds, occasional joint pain, body fatigue, overthinking, and intermittent constipation with previously resolved stomach/colon discomfort, especially with all tests and scans being normal, most likely point toward functional or lifestyle-related causes rather than a serious disease. Joint sounds are commonly due to harmless gas bubbles or mild ligament movement and are often seen in Benign joint crepitus, while fatigue and bowel changes can be associated with stress, low physical activity, poor hydration, or gut sensitivity such as Irritable bowel syndrome. Occasional constipation is frequently related to low fiber intake, inadequate water, or irregular meals. In summary, since investigations are normal, this appears to be a functional issue, and improving lifestyle habits—regular exercise, stretching, 2–3 liters of water daily, high-fiber diet, adequate sleep, and stress control—should gradually reduce both joint discomfort and constipation; however, consult a doctor if swelling, severe pain, or persistent bowel changes develop.

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 am a qualified medical doctor with MBBS and DNB Diploma in Family Medicine from NBEMS, and my work has always been centered on treating patients in a complete, not just symptom based way. During my DNB training I rotated through almost every core department—Internal medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Surgery, Orthopedics, ENT, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Emergency medicine. That mix gave me the skill to manage acute illness, long term disease and preventive care together, something I find very important in family practice. In psychiatry I worked closely with patients who struggled with depression, anxiety, stress related problems, insomnia or substance use. I learned not just about medication but also about simple psychotherapy tools, psycho education and how to talk openly without judgement. I still use that exp in family medicine, specially when chronic disease patients also face mental health issues. My time in General surgery included assisting in minor and major procedures, managing wounds, abscess, sutures and emergencies. While I am not a surgeon, this gave me confidence to recognize surgical cases early, provide first line care and refer fast when needed, which makes a big difference in online or OPD settings. Now I work as a consultant in General medicine and Family practice, with focus on both in-person and online consultation. I treat conditions like fever, infections, gastrointestinal complaints, respiratory illness, and also manage diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders, and lifestyle related chronic diseases. I see women for PCOS, contraception counseling, menstrual health, and children for common pediatric issues. I also dedicate time to preventive health, lifestyle counseling and diet-sleep-exercise advice, since these small changes affect long term wellness more than we often realize. My key skills include holistic diagnosis, evidence based treatment, chronic disease management, mental health support, preventive medicine and telemedicine communiation. At the center of all this is one thing—patients should feel heard, safe, and guided with care that is both professional and personal.

،
الأصوات التي تصدر من المفاصل مثل صوت “الطقطقة” أو “التزييقة” قد تحدث أحياناً بشكل طبيعي، خاصة إذا كانت التحاليل والأشعات طبيعية. غالباً تكون بسبب حركة الأوتار أو الأربطة حول المفصل أو خروج فقاعات غاز صغيرة داخل المفصل، ولا تعني دائماً وجود مرض خطير.
لكن بما أنك تشعر أيضاً بـ إرهاق في الجسم وألم في بعض المفاصل منذ أكثر من 6 أشهر، فقد تكون الأسباب المحتملة مثل:
ضعف أو شد في العضلات حول المفاصل
نقص بعض الفيتامينات مثل فيتامين د أو فيتامين ب12
قلة الحركة أو الجلوس لفترات طويلة
التوتر وكثرة التفكير، حيث يمكن أن يسبب أيضاً إرهاقاً جسدياً وأعراضاً في الجهاز الهضمي مثل الإمساك
ما الذي يمكنك فعله:
ممارسة تمارين خفيفة وتمارين تمدد يومياً لتحسين حركة المفاصل
شرب كمية كافية من الماء يومياً
تناول غذاء متوازن يحتوي على الكالسيوم وفيتامين د
النوم الجيد وتقليل التوتر
زيادة الألياف في الطعام (الخضار، الفواكه، الشوفان) لتقليل الإمساك
إذا استمر الألم أو أصبح هناك تورم في المفاصل، تيبس صباحي شديد، أو ضعف شديد في الجسم، فمن الأفضل مراجعة طبيب لإعادة التقييم وربما فحص مستوى فيتامين د وب12 أو استشارة طبيب عظام أو روماتيزم.
بشكل عام، إذا كانت الفحوصات طبيعية، فغالباً هذه الحالة ليست خطيرة ويمكن تحسينها بتعديل نمط الحياة.

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
Your symptoms most often fit a combination of non-inflammatory joint stiffness + muscle tension + functional digestive disorder, especially since tests and imaging are normal.
Common reasons in cases like yours
Low activity or long sitting → joint clicking and stiffness that feel worse at rest.
Ongoing stress or mental overthinking → body fatigue and trouble relaxing at night.
Irritable bowel–type pattern with intermittent constipation → abdominal discomfort and difficulty passing stool.
Possible mild deficiencies (Vitamin D, B12, magnesium) can cause general aches and tiredness even when basic labs look normal.
What usually helps
Consistent light movement daily (about 30 minutes walking + gentle joint stretching).
Adequate water intake and regular dietary fiber.
Better sleep routine; reduce caffeine in the evening.
Relaxation practices to lower tension.
Check Vitamin D and B12 if they haven’t been tested recently.
See a doctor promptly if
Joints become swollen, you have long morning stiffness, unexplained weight loss, or pain keeps worsening.
Thank you
Take care

Dr. Prasannajeet Singh Shekhawat

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
Thanks for sharing these details. Since your joint creaking (crepitus), pain, body fatigue, and excessive worrying have lasted more than 6 months, and all your tests and scans are normal, here’s what’s most likely going on:
- Benign joint crepitus: Joint sounds without swelling, redness, or major pain are usually harmless, especially if tests are normal. This can happen with age, previous minor injuries, or even just normal joint movement.
- Fatigue and worrying: Chronic fatigue and excessive worrying can be linked to stress, anxiety, or even mild depression, which can also make you more aware of body sensations.
- Occasional constipation: This is common and can be related to stress, diet, or changes in routine. Since your colon and stomach pain have subsided, there’s no sign of a serious digestive issue.
What you can do:
- Stay active with gentle exercise and stretching to keep joints healthy.
- Manage stress with relaxation techniques, yoga, or talking to someone you trust.
- Eat a balanced diet with enough fiber and water to help with constipation.
- If joint pain worsens, you notice swelling/redness, or fatigue becomes severe, see your doctor again.
Here are some tips for joint care and managing stress:
### Joint Care Tips:
1. Stay Active:
- Engage in low-impact exercises like walking, swimming, or cycling. These activities help keep your joints flexible without putting too much strain on them.
2. Strength Training:
- Incorporate strength training exercises to build muscle around your joints. This can provide better support and reduce pain.
3. Stretching:
- Regular stretching can improve flexibility and reduce stiffness. Consider yoga or gentle stretching routines.
4. Maintain a Healthy Weight:
- Keeping a healthy weight reduces stress on weight-bearing joints like knees and hips.
5. Warm-Up and Cool Down:
- Always warm up before exercising and cool down afterward to prevent injuries.
6. Use Heat and Cold Therapy:
- Apply heat pads to relax stiff joints or cold packs to reduce swelling and pain.
7. Stay Hydrated:
- Drink plenty of water to keep your joints lubricated.
### Stress Management Tips:
1. Mindfulness and Meditation:
- Practice mindfulness or meditation to help calm your mind and reduce anxiety. Apps like Headspace or Calm can guide you.
2. Deep Breathing Exercises:
- Take a few minutes each day to practice deep breathing. Inhale deeply through your nose, hold for a few seconds, and exhale slowly through your mouth.
3. Physical Activity:
- Regular exercise releases endorphins, which can improve your mood and reduce stress.
7. Seek Professional Help:
- If stress and anxiety become overwhelming, consider talking to a mental health professional for support.
6. Establish a Routine:
- Having a daily routine can provide structure and reduce feelings of anxiety.
4. Connect with Others:
- Spend time with friends or family, or talk to someone you trust about your feelings. Social support is crucial for managing stress.
5. Limit Caffeine and Sugar:
- Reducing caffeine and sugar intake can help stabilize your mood and energy levels.
Thank you

I am a general physician with 8 years of practice, mostly in urban clinics and semi-rural setups. I began working right after MBBS in a govt hospital in Kerala, and wow — first few months were chaotic, not gonna lie. Since then, I’ve seen 1000s of patients with all kinds of cases — fevers, uncontrolled diabetes, asthma, infections, you name it. I usually work with working-class patients, and that changed how I treat — people don’t always have time or money for fancy tests, so I focus on smart clinical diagnosis and practical treatment. Over time, I’ve developed an interest in preventive care — like helping young adults with early metabolic issues. I also counsel a lot on diet, sleep, and stress — more than half the problems start there anyway. I did a certification in evidence-based practice last year, and I keep learning stuff online. I’m not perfect (nobody is), but I care. I show up, I listen, I adjust when I’m wrong. Every patient needs something slightly different. That’s what keeps this work alive for me.

أصوات الطقطقة في المفاصل والشعور بالإرهاق أحياناً قد تكون مرتبطة بعدة أشياء. حتى لو كانت الفحوصات سليمة، قد تواجه ضعف عضلي أو نقص في بعض العناصر الغذائية مثل فيتامين د أو الكالسيوم الذي قد يؤدي لآلام في المفاصل وإرهاق. يمكنك التحقق من مستويات الفيتامينات والمعادن وإذا وجدت نقصًا، تحدث مع طبيبك للحصول على المكملات اللازمة. كما يمكن أن تكون مستويات الإجهاد أو قلة النشاط البدني لها دور في تلك الأعراض، لذا يمكن أن تحاول دمج تمارين خفيفة مثل المشي أو اليوغا في روتينك اليومي لتقوية العضلات وزيادة مرونتها. بخصوص الإمساك، تحقيق توازن في تناول الألياف في نظامك الغذائي مثل الفواكه الطازجة، الخضروات، والحبوب الكاملة يمكن أن يساعد. شرب كمية كافية من الماء مهم لتحريك الأمعاء بشكل طبيعي. إذا استمر الإمساك، ابحث عن العلاجات الموضعية مثل المليّنات، لكن استخدمها فقط تحت توصية الطبيب، خصوصاً إذا لا تزال تعاني من آلام في الجهاز الهضمي. إذا استمرت الأعراض أو زادت سوءًا، متابعة طبية ضرورية للتأكد من عدم وجود حالة طبية تحتاج لاهتمام مكثف. لاحظ أن الأعراض العامة مثل الإرهاق قد تتضمن أحياناً عوامل نفسية، لذا قد تكون استشارة أخصائي نفسي فكرة جيدة إذا كان التفكير الزائد بشكل مستمر.

I'm Dr. Alan Reji, a general dentist with a deep-rooted passion for helping people achieve lasting oral health while making dental visits feel less intimidating. I graduated from Pushpagiri College of Dental Sciences (batch of 2018), and ever since, I've been committed to offering high-quality care that balances both advanced clinical knowledge and genuine compassion for my patients. Starting Dent To Smile here in Palakkad wasn’t just about opening a clinic—it was really about creating a space where people feel relaxed the moment they walk in. Dental care can feel cold or overly clinical, and I’ve always wanted to change that. So I focused on making it warm, easygoing, and centered completely around you. I mix new-age tech with some good old-fashioned values—really listening, explaining stuff without jargon, and making sure you feel involved, not just treated. From regular cleanings to fillings or even cosmetic work, I try my best to keep things smooth and stress-free. No hidden steps. No last-minute surprises. I have a strong interest in patient education and preventive dentistry. I genuinely believe most dental issues can be caught early—or even avoided—when patients are given the right information at the right time. That’s why I take time to talk, not just treat. Helping people understand why something’s happening is as important to me as treating what’s happening. At my practice, I’ve made it a point to stay current with the latest innovations—digital diagnostics, minimally invasive techniques, and smart scheduling that respects people’s time. I also try to make my services accessible and affordable, because good dental care shouldn’t be out of reach for anyone.

Joint cracking sounds with fatigue can sometimes occur due to joint hypermobility, mild vitamin deficiencies (such as Vitamin D or magnesium), muscle weakness, stress, or prolonged inactivity, especially when tests and scans are normal. Occasional constipation and previous stomach discomfort may also be related to diet, hydration, or stress affecting the digestive system. Consult a Rheumatologist or General Physician for evaluation of vitamin levels, lifestyle factors, and joint health, and consider gentle exercise, adequate hydration, and a fiber-rich diet to help improve symptoms.
