Flu
Severe nerve pulling, waddling gait, and
Hello Doctor,
My mother (Age 47, Weight 70 kg) has been suffering from severe knee and leg pain for 8 months. Recently, her condition has worsened. She has to stand for long hours at our shop, and at night, she experiences severe nerve pulling/spasms in her legs. Her walking balance has completely changed (she walks with a waddling, penguin-like gait).
Her recent blood reports show:
Vitamin B12: 221 pg/ml (Low)
Homocysteine: 22.30 µmol/L (High)
TSH: 7.89 µIU/mL (High)
Past Treatment:
An Ortho diagnosed mild Knee OA andsaying for opration. A Pain specialist prescribed Pregabid CR 75 and Etoshine MR, but no relief. Currently, an MD Physician started her on Tab Thyrox 50 mcg and Tab Becosules Z.
My questions:
Is her abnormal waddling gait and night-time nerve pulling due to Lumbar Spine nerve compression + B12 Neuropathy, rather than just Knee OA?
Should we get an MRI of the LS Spine and Knee joint?
Which specialist should we primarily consult now for a non-surgical approach?

Nail clubbing.
Hi Doctors, I am a 27M single. About 5 months ago, my family noticed changes in my nails, and a physician confirmed nail clubbing. I underwent investigations including 2D Echo with Doppler, HRCT chest, ESR, hemogram, T3, T4, TSH, and LFT, and all reports were normal. The doctor mentioned it could be genetic as major causes were ruled out.
On reviewing my old photos, my nails appeared normal until around 2016–2017. Mild changes began around 2018, progressed by 2020, and became more prominent by 2023, with further noticeable changes up to now.
I also have external hemorrhoids since around 2020, along with mild constipation and a feeling of incomplete bowel emptying, which improves with a high-fiber diet.
Could there be any underlying condition linking these issues, or can hemorrhoids/constipation contribute to nail clubbing? Do I need any further evaluation, or can this be considered benign? I am also also feeling quite depressed due to the cosmetic changes.
