Is there a chance to become pregnant after taking Yasmin?

Hi doctor,

I removed IUD recently as I was not sexually active. I had unprotected sex after a week, and I took Yasmin. I read that increased intake of Yasmin can work as an emergency pill. I took five tablets in the afternoon, another five tablets after eight hours and again five tablets after six hours. I got my last period before a month, and it was delayed for two days when I had unprotected sex. Can I have a chance to become pregnant even after taking Yasmin?

Is my jaw pain and popping sound due to osteoarthritis?

Hello doctor,

I am 35 years old, 5 feet 11 inches tall and weight 79 kg. Vegetarian diet. Before two years, due to stomach disturbance and pain and some popup and cracker sound occurred in my knee joints. I visited the doctor and he suggested me for a laboratory test of liver function test and all reports were in normal range except sugar which was 138 at that time and gave me some medicines and referred to orthopedic for joint pain. I have visited an orthopedic specialist. He took an X-ray of both leg, knee, and told that it is an early stage of osteoarthritis of the knee and he suggested for MRI and I got my MRI done. In the MRI report, it is mentioned that left knee has been affected with osteoarthritis. After that, he gave some medicine for 10 days and referred to a physiotherapist for exercise and weight loss. I have visited as he told and now I have reduced my weight and now there is very little pain remaining in my left knee but now my other joints like the left hand thumb, finger, and both hand and knee have popup sound during movement. Kindly diagnose my problem and suggest the treatment for the same.

How can I get relief from pain in sacroiliac joints?

Hi doctor,

I have severe pain in my sacroiliac joints (eight years). The doctors focused only on my lumbar sacral spine, and it has got fused for two years. However, the pain persisted. I found after surgery that bilateral sacroiliitis showed up on MRI for two years. I saw a rheumatologist for the first time who diagnosed me with ankylosing spondylitis and started treatment. For the past 12 months, we have tried different things to treat it. I also feel so sick of myself. I also have a low-grade temperature, nausea, dizziness, and fatigue. Currently, I am taking Gabapentin, Palexia, Midon, Xarelto, and Zofran.
