Health Q&A
Safe to walk?
Safe to walk? Like it was a minor hairline undisplaced fracture in the posterior aspect of my lateral malleolus. A stable fracture. And some soft tissue injury too. I have maintained non weight bearing for 25 days. My foot is in a fiberglass cast. Can I start walking 26th day onwards, while still in cast and with rocker shoes and a crutch? Bc the fracture was very minor. Just some chipping. Like partial weight bearing? And pls look at the xrayyy carefully Can I climb stairs too?
Heavy Legs
I am preparing for an SI physical test on 10 June. I am experiencing persistent heaviness and weakness in both legs. There is little pain, but my legs feel fatigued, heavy, and do not generate enough power while running. My endurance and performance have declined significantly, and during long jump my legs get exhausted very quickly. I have consulted multiple doctors. X-rays of my legs and lower back were normal. I have been prescribed Vitamin D supplements, muscle relaxants, recovery supplements, protein, electrolytes, and adequate hydration. Despite this, the heaviness and weakness persist. The main problem is that my legs feel weak and do not respond properly during physical activity, even though pain is minimal. What could be the possible cause, and what tests would you recommend to identify the root cause? Also, with my physical test on 10 June, what can I do in the remaining days to improve my performance safely? please help
Breathing Difficulty with Palpitations
"I had been taking Shelcal XT for about 2.5 years. In my recent blood test, my Vitamin B12 level was high at around 2000. Shelcal XT contains: Elemental Calcium – 500 mg Vitamin D3 – 2000 IU Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12) – 1500 mcg L-Methylfolate Calcium – 1 mg Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate – 20 mg Since it contains Methylcobalamin 1500 mcg, I think my B12 may have become high because I took it for a long time. So my doctor advised me to switch to plain Shelcal 500 and Ultra D3 2000 IU. I stopped Shelcal XT and for the past 3 days I have been taking only Shelcal 500 and Ultra D3 2000 IU. I was fine all this time, but for the last 3 days I have been feeling mild breathing difficulty and mild palpitations. Is it possible that these symptoms are due to changing the tablets 3 days ago?"
