The last couple years I seem to be ill having more and more incidences of teeth, joint, swelling general aches and pains. I don t understand why. Example, last month I have had ankle swell painful, bad pinch nerve in neck and just on Tuesday dad to have tooth pulled cause it dead. Could drinking coke zero cause any of this? I can t think of anything else done differently past 5 years. It seems like once a week I have to stay home from work because of some issue. Why do I keep getting these things happen? Please help! Thanks for your time!
Hello, The location and movement of a pain gives clues as to what is going on. And if it is ALL small joints it would certainly imply an overall inflammatory process and if it is ONE joint then either gout, infection, or doing something bad to the joint mechanically. Coke zero isn't going to cause this. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
