Hello

bouaalemdh

My name is Boualem Draei, from Tunisia. I am 23 years old. I have been suffering from rheumatism and arthritis since I was 10 years old. I was being treated by an orthopedic doctor who could not detect the disease because it was not his specialty, and after 10 years had passed, he sent me to [xxx] Hospital in Tunisia. It was detected by an MRI machine. Unfortunately, it was discovered too late. On January 4, 2023, I had an appointment at [xxx] Hospital until February 3, 2023. They did all kinds of analysis, x-rays, and an eye test.... And they gave me different types of medication: zalazopy et adol et tendiny and indomethacin Unfortunately, it caused me stomach inflammation, and all of these are pain-relieving medications that last less than 24 hours. I got a medical report from the doctor.[xxx]
