Bone & Muscle problems
Weak Grip in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
My father aged 52 years is having hand joint problems.
He is unable to make a proper grip/fist and feels pain only when trying to make the fist, after his hormone blocking treatment was started for Ca Prostate.
We did a NCV BUL, and were diagnosed with CTS.
But he is not having any common CTS symptoms of numbness, pain at night and tingling in any of the limbs.
So the doctor is not sure about the diagnosis and recommended some other lab as this is a very sensitive and errors prone test.
Can these be symptoms of CTS or is it only sacropenia due to low Testosterone?
Which doctor should we go for a proper diagnosis?

Please suggest.
Hi Everyone,
So I had a fall from bike 9 weeks ago and in the X-Ray it was diagnosed hairline shoulder fracture. I wore sling for 2 weeks and there was some improvement so doctor advised some physiotherapy exercises. But that really aggravated my pain while doing front arm raise so I consulted again and did MRI after 4 weeks ( Reports attached) Now as per doctor advise I've begun therapy post 8 weeks but after 3-4 days of physiotherapy my range of motion is again not going beyond 90 degree overhead. Above that again cracking of shoulder with pain is occurring.
Should I still go with the physiotherapy exercises? Please suggest plan of action. I don't want go
How much time it takes to heal completely? Is surgery needed?

Is it a tumor?
I'm 26 year old male, normal BMI. There is some sticky feeling near left shoulder blade (upper left back) near spine to be precise. Something sticky, something stuck in the back feeling which can be felt when I bend. I am not having any pain or no lump can be seen in the region from outside. This issue persists since more than a year but i feel it more often nowadays (before i felt it only when i bent down). I am confused whether it's a tumor inside or lipoma (which i have on hands). I am aslo on high bp tabs, this is causing me anxiety also. Is it posture issue as I have spent most of time in sleeping flat on back position since past 5-6 year?

Calcium Citrate CCM 500mg
The doctor had prescribed Shelcal-D 500mg bedtime, to prevent Osteoporosis amid hormone blocking therapy for Prostate cancer.
We want to take calcium citrate for better absorption and lower side effects.
But CCM only comes in doses of 250mg, so can we make it 2 tabs to make 500mg and what time should we take it 1 Morning, 1 Evening?
Is 500 mg CCM exactly the same as Calcium Carbonate in terms of potency, absorption?
Which tests(N-telopeptides, DEXA etc.) should we periodically(3 months) do to check progression of osteoporosis?
