Unable to bend leg

My mother, Rubina Malik, is 57 years old and has diabetes. She was enrolled in Practo’s Diabetes Reversal Program. Her blood sugar readings from yesterday were: Fasting/empty stomach: 123 mg/dL Post-dinner: 188 mg/dL She weighs around 54 kg and goes for a walk twice a day. She is currently experiencing a problem in her left thigh/leg. She feels a tightness in the thigh, and she is unable to bend the leg properly. She also feels as if the veins or nerves in that area are under extreme pressure and might burst. The sensation is quite uncomfortable. We consulted a local orthopedic specialist in Ratlam. The doctor gave her an injection, after which she felt some relief, and prescribed medicines. However, the problem has not completely resolved. A local physiotherapist told us that there is no proper treatment for this problem. Her diabetes doctor from Practo has now prescribed Winnaxon Plus injection. We want to understand what could be causing this problem and, most importantly, whether t

Broken forearm update and queries

I am a 16 year old male. I had a displaced both-bone forearm fracture that was reduced and placed in a plaster cast about a week ago. My follow-up X-ray was checked by the doctor, who said the alignment is fine, with only a little bending. For the last ~2 days after the follow up session, I have had significant tightness and stiffness feeling around my wrist, especially on one side, which feels different from before. When I bend/open my fingers, particularly the little finger, I feel some pain/tightness around the wrist. I also occasionally get brief burning/hot-water-like or nerve-type sensations and a heartbeat/pulsing feeling around my elbow . My fingers are warm, normally coloured and movable, and I do not have constant or severe pain. Could this be swelling, nerve/tendon irritation, or pressure from the cast, and should the cast be checked or adjusted? Also, given my age and isolated arm fracture, is there any need for a blood thinner, or is it unnecessary in my case?
