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 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 Shakeel,

Aap jo symptoms bata rahe hain — lambi duration se weight loss, bhook kam lagna, jism ki kamzori, aur tangon mein severe dard — yeh normal nahi hain aur inko ignore nahi karna chahiye.

Is tarah ke symptoms ke kuch serious causes ho sakte hain jaise malnutrition, anemia, tuberculosis, ya metabolism se related problems jaise hyperthyroidism. Tangon ka dard weakness, vitamin deficiency (especially Vitamin D, B12) ya nerve/muscle problem ki wajah se bhi ho sakta hai.

Aapka weight (49 kg at 5.7”) kaafi kam hai, isliye proper medical checkup bohot zaroori hai. Aapko jaldi se ek doctor ko dikhana chahiye aur kuch basic tests karwane honge jaise: Blood test (CBC, hemoglobin) Thyroid test Vitamin D aur B12 levels Blood sugar Chest X-ray (agar TB ka doubt ho)

Filhal aap apni diet improve karne ki koshish karein — doodh, anday, daal, fruits, aur protein wali cheezein zyada lein — lekin sirf diet se yeh problem solve nahi hogi jab tak exact cause na pata chale.

Agar dard itna zyada hai ke chalna mushkil ho raha hai, to delay na karein aur jaldi doctor ke paas jayein.

Aapka case serious hai lekin sahi diagnosis aur treatment se theek ho sakta hai.

I trust this helps Thank you Take care

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.

At your height (5’7") and weight (49 kg), you are underweight, which may fall under Underweight, and this can lead to muscle wasting, fatigue, and visible bones. The leg pain and weakness could be related to nutritional deficiencies (such as vitamin D, calcium, or vitamin B12), muscle loss, or even conditions like Anemia. Since your appetite is also reduced, your body is not getting enough nutrients to maintain strength and energy.

It is very important that you get some basic tests done, including complete blood count (CBC), vitamin B12, vitamin D, thyroid function, and blood sugar, to identify the exact cause. In the meantime, focus on improving your diet by eating high-calorie, nutrient-rich foods such as milk, eggs, bananas, dates, nuts, peanut butter, rice, and lentils, and try to eat small frequent meals (4–5 times daily) even if appetite is low. You may also benefit from a multivitamin and protein supplement if available. Adequate rest, sunlight exposure, and light physical activity (as tolerated) can help gradually rebuild strength.

Your condition suggests severe underweight with possible nutritional deficiencies or anemia causing weakness and leg pain, so you should undergo basic medical tests and improve your diet urgently, as proper diagnosis and nutrition can significantly help you regain strength and health.
