Hello Doctor,
My mother (Age 47, Weight 70kg) 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 OAand for opration knee. 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?
I had got a chest x- ray done and the radiologist who did the x-ray noticed a curved spine in the back.
I have neurofibromatosis and visible lesions there are some in my lower back as well.
Should I get a proper x- ray done for my back
Is it life threatening or can be managed over time?
Can scoliosis patient go to gym or do Zumba. If not what type of exercise can they do to be fit and healthy?
