Cold or Flu? Know the Difference!
Not feeling your best? Here's a quick guide:
Flu:
• Comes on suddenly
• Fever, headaches, muscle aches
• Often leaves you too sick to carry on with daily activities
Cold:
• Develops gradually
• Mainly affects your nose and throat
• Usually mild enough to continue with normal activities
While most colds and flu improve on their own, complications can occur.
See your doctor if you experience:
✔️ Shortness of breath
✔️ Chest pain when breathing or coughing
✔️ Dizziness or confusion
✔️ Fever lasting more than 3 days
✔️ Symptoms that aren't improving
✔️ An underlying condition such as diabetes, heart, lung, or kidney disease
✔️ A weakened immune system

When in doubt, get checked out. Early assessment can help prevent complications and get you back to feeling your best.
Reach out and get the care you need.

Getting your ankle assessed is important. What seems like a simple sprain could be more serious ligament injury or even a fracture. Early diagnosis helps ensure the right treatment and reduces the risk of long-term problems.

Not all ankle sprains are the same. The injury can range from a minor ligament tear to a complete rupture, and the severity will determine how long recovery takes.
Recovery isn’t always a straight line – some good days, some setbacks. Stay patient, keep moving within your comfort level, and focus on steady progress.

Don’t let pain hold you back. If you’re struggling with new or persistent symptoms, it’s time to seek advice - let’s find a solution together.
Make an appointment with Dr. Johan for professional care and peace of mind.

Kidney stones are a common health issue. While they can affect anyone, they are statistically more frequent in males.
Where is the pain felt?
Kidney stones can cause sudden, severe pain that often comes in waves. This pain is typically felt in:
• One side of your back (flank area)
• Your side or lower abdomen
• Your groin (pain can radiate from the back down to the groin)
Other common symptoms:
Beyond the pain, your body may signal a kidney stone through:
• Nausea or vomiting
• Blood in the urine
• A frequent or urgent need to pass urine
Important to know:
Some people may have kidney stones without symptoms - until the stone begins to move.
When to take action:
If you’re experiencing severe pain, don’t wait it out. Early care can help relieve discomfort and prevent complications.
Your health matters. If you’re concerned about your symptoms, we’re here to help you find relief and a path forward.

Knee Pain: When Should You Be Concerned?

• You’re unable to put weight on it
• Your knee locks or gives way
• The pain is severe
Seek urgent care immediately if:
• Your knee is badly swollen or has changed shape
• You have a fever with a red, hot knee
• The pain follows a major injury
Don’t ignore persistent knee pain—early care can prevent long-term damage and help you stay active.

A bone fracture is a crack or break in a bone. A broken bone can happen suddenly and requires proper care to heal correctly.

Fractures are especially common in children due to their active lifestyles and developing bones.
Watch for signs like:
• Pain and tenderness
• Swelling or bruising
• Limited or no movement in the affected limb
• A visible change in shape

See a doctor if:
• You think you may have a broken bone or dislocation
(Do NOT try to straighten or move a bone that looks out of place)
• Your injury isn’t improving or is getting worse
• You notice signs of infection such as increased pain, swelling, or redness
Early treatment can make all the difference in recovery—don’t delay getting the care you need.
