My knees and ankles are in pretty serious pain. I was told it was a side effect of the drugs (probably the Naproxen). Is this normal? How long can it last? How can I help it heal?

You can answer the question using the above details but if you really know what your talking about and want more info, please read on....

I went to the hospital on March 3rd for a fever of 104 and a rash that caused a lot of swelling in my left ankle along with red spots. I stayed 3 nights and was never officially diagnosed with anything. I was given Levaquin and Naproxen and finished both of my subscriptions after about 7-10 days.

Two side effects came a few days after finishing the medications. A stomach ulcer and joint pain. The stomach ulcer is being treated now with Nexium. The joint pain was in my elbows, wrists, ankles, and knees. It is no longer bothering my wrists or elbows but my knees and ankles are in incredible pain. I also have cramping in my calves. Can anyone offer any advice?

I have completed my engineering in computer science. While i was doing my engineering i had many medical problems and i used to do a lot of reading about my problems which led me to read a lot about other problems too.
I have read a few basic first/second semester medical science books and found them very interesting.
My point is that even though i am good in computer engineering, i am very much interested in becoming a doctor and i feel that i have the patience & ability to do it.

So now how do i persue this. Do i need to do a graduate level course in medical science or can i directly join a MBBS university. What is the criteria for getting into a Medical college in USA,Canada,UK,Australia.

I would like to thank you in advance for your answer.
